Victor Lindelof has agreed to sign a new deal with Benfica to allow the Portuguese giants to sell the centre-back to Manchester United for €50m (£42.7m), reports Ojogo.
United have been heavily linked with a move for the Sweden international in the last month as Jose Mourinho looks to strengthen his defence ahead of the second half of the season.
Benfica have always maintained the desire to sell Lindelof for far more than his current €30m (£25.6m) release clause and have made a breakthrough in discussions with United in order to secure more money in his sale.
Lindelof reportedly returned from his break with his family in Sweden earlier this week in order to pen the new terms, which should now allow the versatile defender to complete his switch to United at the start of next month.
No defender has completed more accurate passes in the Portuguese Liga Nos this season than Lindelof (747).
