Sources have told ESPN the deal is worth an initial €70 million ($81.7m), potentially rising to over €80 million ($93.3m) with add-ons.

ESPN reported on Wednesday that Barça and Newcastle had reached an agreement over a fee, with Gordon flying to the Catalan city on Thursday to complete a medical.
He will now head off to the United States for the World Cup after being named in Thomas Tuchel's 26-player England squad.
Gordon arrives at Barça as part of an attacking shakeup requested this summer by coach Hansi Flick.
He primarily plays on the left, but can also play through the middle, and bolsters a front line that already includes Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
