Both Catalan newspapers Sport and Mundo Deportivo claim that Pedro Rodríguez’s transfer from Barcelona to Manchester United is now a formality.
The fee is expected to be in the region of £22.5m (£20m plus add ons) but each paper differs slightly on timescale.
Sport reckon Wednesday’s Joan Gamper Trophy game versus Roma would be Pedro’s Barca farewell, whereas Mundo Deportivo suggest a ten-day timeframe.
Pedro could be joined at Old Trafford by his namesake Joao Pedro, if reports in his native Brazil are to be believed.
The Palmeiras right-back impressed at the recent Under-20 World Cup alongside United’s Andreas Pereira.
Fox Sports Brasil understand that United have bid £2.8m for the talented 18-year-old and are awaiting a response from the player’s São Paulo club.
