Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira is reportedly set to join newly-promoted Fulham in a £10 million-plus add-ons deal.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Pereira, 26, will join Fulham on a three-year deal with an option of a further year.
Romano posted on his Twitter:
"Andreas Pereira to Fulham, here we go! Full agreement in place on player side, three year deal with option for further season."

The Brazilian midfielder joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven in 2012 and has since found game time hard to come by at Old Trafford. Pereira has spent a large majority of his United career out on loan at clubs like Granada, Valencia, and Lazio.
He was sent on loan to Brazilian side Flamengo last season, where he made 29 appearances, scoring three goals and creating two assists.
Pereira will leave Manchester United, having made just 75 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring four goals and contributing five assists.
The attacking midfielder joins Marco Silva's Fulham, who will be looking to build on their impressive promotion to the Premier League.
The Cottagers won the EFL Championship with 90 points, making a quick return to the top tier after being relegated the season prior.
Pereira can expect to be afforded much more game time than what he has been given at Manchester United.
Another midfielder leaves Manchester United
Manchester United have depleted their midfield options following a number of key departures this summer.
Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata have all left the Red Devils. Pereira has now joined the list.
United will hope to sign someone to strengthen their midfield this summer. Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong sits atop their wishlist. The Dutchman is reportedly expected to join them before their pre-season tour commences in Australia on July 13.
The Red Devils have also sealed the signing of Christian Eriksen on a free transfer following the expiration of his short-term deal with Brentford (via Fabrizio Romano).
Erik ten Hag seems keen to tinker with the midfield at his disposal and given the number of departures, he is quite inclined to make reinforcements.
United fans will be intrigued to see how the Dutch coach manages Donny van de Beek. The Dutch midfielder enjoyed a successful stint at Ajax under Ten Hag. Van de Beek has now returned to Old Trafford after a short loan spell at Everton.
The 25-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at the Toffees. However, his injury issues meant he couldn't make much of an impact at the club.
Ten Hag could help reignite the Dutchman's fine form displayed during his time with Ajax in the Eredivisie, which earned him a transfer to Manchester United in 2020.
