Accordingly, Thiago and his father, Mazinho, have accepted the Premier League champions' offer of £5 million per year. The transfer fee in this deal is £17 million, which is also the amount needed to release Thiago from his contract with Barca.

Therefore, once negotiations with Barca are finalized, MU will officially secure Thiago's signature. It's likely that everything won't be settled today, but talks between Barca and MU will continue until the end of the week.

Thiago is currently one of the brightest young talents in Spanish football. The Barcelona midfielder recently made headlines worldwide after scoring a hat-trick in the EURO U21 final against Italy, helping Spain win the title for the second consecutive time.

Thiago was targeted by Barca as a long-term replacement for Xavi. However, his limited playing time left him frustrated and wanting to leave.
