Brazilian World Cup star Ronaldinho appears set to join Manchester United.
Most of today's British newspapers suggest that a £9 million sterling deal to bring the PSG playmaker to Old Trafford is as good as done.
The tabloid press says United chief Peter Kenyon flew to Paris on yesterday to thrash out a fee for the player who knocked England out of last summer's World Cup finals.
The reports say United had already agreed personal terms with Ronaldinho through his brother and agent.
Ronaldinho could be unveiled after playing in the upcoming Confederations Cup, and his arrival would increase speculation of a move abroad for David Beckham.
Ronaldinho is seen as the first piece in a summer spending spree for Sir Alex Ferguson, and a £30 million transfer fee for Beckham would help fund that.
