MU are close to securing the signature of Thiago Alcantara after they reached a personal agreement with the young Barca midfielder.

Accordingly, Thiago and his father Mazinho have accepted the salary offered by the Premier League champions of £5 million/year. The transfer fee in this deal is £17 million. This is also the amount needed to release Thiago's contract with Barca.

So, as long as the negotiations with Barca are completed, MU will officially have Thiago's signature. It is likely that everything will not be completed today, but negotiations between Barca and MU will continue until the end of the week.

Thiago is one of the brightest young talents in Spanish football today. The Barca midfielder has just been mentioned by the whole world when he scored a hat-trick in the EURO U21 Final against Italy, helping Spain win the championship for the second time in a row.

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