English Premier League club Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Real Madrid’s Brazilian midfielder Casemiro for 60m euros (£50.7m) plus 10m euros (£8.5m) in add ons, reports BBC.

Talks have progressed quickly and United are optimistic the deal for the Brazil international, will be completed in the next few days.

Right now United are bottom of the Premier League and host Liverpool on Monday.

Casemiro would become one of the United's top earners if he completes the move and would sign a four-year contract with the option of an additional year.

Although Casemiro has a contract that runs to 2025, Real are mindful of the scale of United's offer of a contract that could extend to 2027 once the option of an additional season is added on. They would not stand in his way if he decided to accept.
