According to reports from BBC Sports, the agreement includes a guaranteed payment of £66.3m (76.5m euros) with the remainder in add-ons.

The Slovenia forward who was also seriously sought by Newcastle is expected to undergo a medical on Friday and conclude other formalities, before finalising his move to Old Trafford.
