Manchester United have already made an opening bid for Barcelona winger Pedro.
Sport says Pedro has one foot inside Old Trafford with transfer talks kicking off in a positive fashion.
United's opening bid is for €25 million plus a further €5 million due based on appearances and success. For their part, Barca are insisting on a straight €30 million.
Pedro has already told Barca teammates he expects to join United and also informed coach Luis Enrique he wants to leave.
United will also hand Pedro a pay-hike on his current Barca contract, which he signed only last month.
A deal between the two clubs could now be struck before the weekend.
