Manchester United have agreed in principle to sign Radamel Falcao from Monaco at the end of his current loan spell at the club.
The deal is said to be worth around €56 million, which will keep the Colombian permanently at the club .
However the deal will only go through if Manchester United are satisfied with his performances and fitness as the season progresses.
Falcao currently earns €305,000 per week, and United have agreed and signed paperwork on the same terms should the switch materialise next summer.
Falcao’s agent, Jorge Mendes, revealed that his client has also expressed interest to stay at the club beyond this season.
Falcao has scored one goal in five Premier League appearances for United but missed Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea after sustaining an injury in training last week.
Juventus managing director has claimed this week that Falcao came close to joining the Italian champions in the summer before United stepped in with a better offer.
"We were following him and there was contact," Marotta told RAI. "We were very close to [signing] Falcao and the player preferred Italy and our colours, but then United came forward and they have much more spending power than we do so the deal broke down."
