Manchester City are on the verge of making Benfica goalkeeper Ederson their second summer signing.
The Premier League have agreed a fee of around £35million with the Portuguese club for the 23-year-old.
The deal will make the Brazilian the most expensive goalkeeper of all-time, beating the £32.6m paid byJuventus for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001.
Ederson is due to arrive in Manchester on Monday to finalise a move to the Etihad.
He played for Benfica in Sunday's 2-1 cup final victory over Vitoria de Guimaraes and admitted to reporters after the match he had "probably" made his last appearance for the club.
City are expected to make a host of big signings this summer after Pep Guardiola ended his first season in charge without any silverware.
Portuguese playmaker Bernado Silva has already arrived from Monaco in a £45million deal.
City are also understood to be chasing another Monaco star - Benjamin Mendy - and Tottenham defender Kyle Walker.
