Borussia Dortmund expect to sell Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Manchester United next month.
Bild says a deal is likely to be completed in July.
Dortmund have been reluctant to sell Mkhitaryan but the report says that they will allow him to leave should United offer £32.6m.
The 27-year-old's future at the Westfalenstadion has been the subject of intense speculation after he rejected their offer of a contract extension, despite having only 12 months remaining on his current deal.
And his agent Mino Raiola insisted earlier this week he would not give up on giving the Armenia international his desired move to Old Trafford.
