Real Madrid believe they have won the race to sign Manchester United's full-back Nemanja Vidic and will join Cristiano Ronaldo to the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season.
AC Milan, Inter and Spanish champions Barcelona also involved in the chase for Vidic. But he is bound for Real in a £20million transfer that will end an increasingly uneasy relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Real sporting director Jorge Valdano has been working on a deal since before Christmas and is believed to have told the Bernabeu board that an agreement has been reached on a £20m fee.
United boss is looking for replacement. Fulham's Chris Smalling has already been bought for £10m and will join in the summer, and United are looking closely at Benfica's David Luiz, Palermo's Denmark centre back Simon Kjaer and Porto's experienced defender Bruno Alves.
There were claims that 28-year-old Serbia star has put his house up for sale.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have confirmed highly-rated teenager Sergio Canales will join the club from Racing Santander at the end of the season.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City were all rumoured to be keen to bring the 18-year-old to the Premier League, while European champions Barcelona were also credited with an interest.
However, Canales' father revealed last month that the midfielder wanted to join Real as he believed his career would be best served by a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
