| Pedro has reportedly completed the first part of his medical at Manchester United |
PEDRO has completed the first part of his medical ahead of a move from Barcelona to Manchester United, according to reports in Italy and Spain.
The Metro claim a £24.7million fee has been agreed between the two clubs, with the first part of a medical now complete.
Despite the claims of a fee being agreed, it was widely thought the Spaniard had a £22m release clause in his contract.
While those issues might still need to be ironed out, Italian publication Gazetta dello Sport believe there is no doubt the 28-year-old will be a United player before the end of the transfer window - which slams shut at 6pm on Tuesday September 1.
However, Spanish newspaper Marca say a deal will not be done before Tuesday as the Spanish giants are set to take on La Liga rivals Sevilla in the European Super Cup in Tibilisi.
With Lionel Messi still recovering after the Copa America and Neymar ruled out for two weeks after being diagnosed with mumps, Pedro is set for a starring role in what could be his final game for Barca.
His United transfer is then expected to be announced immediately after completing the final part of a medical on Wednesday.
The announcement would mark the end of a long running saga as the World Cup winner has been persistently linked with Old Trafford after 10 years at the Nou Camp.
Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is understood to be keen on bringing in new faces after watching his side stutter to an unconvincing home win over Tottenham on the opening day of the Premier League season.
Pedro would become the club's sixth summer signing, following the captures of Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sergio Romero.
He would not be available for United's Champions League play-off with Club Brugge unless a deal was sealed before the deadline to register players on Monday August 10.
