Manchester United confirmed this morning they had agreed in principle to buy Fulham striker Louis Saha for an undisclosed fee.
Fulham had announced the deal to sell their French striker to the English champions in a statement on their website last night.
United said the transfer, which comes after Fulham had rejected earlier approaches by the club, was "subject to a number of conditions".
"Manchester United expects these conditions to be resolved within the next week and will make a further announcement on completion," United said in a statement to the stock exchange.
Fulham have been reluctant to part with Saha, who has scored 13 league goals this season, and turned down a bid, reportedly worth £8 million sterling, from United last month.
But the 25-year-old Saha has not hidden his desire to move to United and was quoted as saying he was "disgusted" at Fulham for rejecting the offer.
