After "good" negotiations with the Dutch club in Amsterdam on Wednesday, Manchester United is optimistic that it will be able to sign Ajax center-back Lisandro Martnez this week.
The 24-year-old Argentine international center back was the subject of lengthy negotiations between the two clubs until a general agreement was reached. On Thursday, the topic of the payment structure will be the main topic of conversation.
For a player who spent three seasons with Ajax under the direction of the new Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, the transfer fee will be €50 million (£42 million), plus add-ons. Since moving from Argentina's Defensa y Justicia to Ajax, he has won two league championships and a Dutch Cup.
Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong's pursuit by United has slowed as a result of the player's representatives telling Barcelona that the midfielder has no plans to leave.
