Romelu Lukaku is set to join Inter Milan on Thursday after undergoing the club’s medical.
The 26-year-old is currently in Belgium and will fly straight to Milan from there for the medical on Thursday.
Inter and Manchester United exchanged documents via email, so there is no need to fly to England for the paperwork.
Lukaku has been AWOL this week, using the training facilities of former club Anderlecht.
Belgium’s all-time record goalscorer has been in his homeland, staying away from United in the hope of forcing through a move, after falling out of favour with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
His agent, Federico Pastorello, flew to London on Wednesday in an attempt to resolve his future.
And later that evening, Pastorello posted a photo on Instagram of himself and Lukaku on board a private jet flying from Brussels, with the caption: “Ready to take off. Direction Milano.
Manchester United had wanted €85m for Lukaku, but the final figures seem to be €75-78m.
That translates to £60m plus £12m in bonuses, a total of £72m.
The player had agreed personal terms with Inter several weeks ago, as he has been their transfer target since Antonio Conte first took over.
