The rumour mill is in full spin this evening with suggestions that Manchester United have agreed a deal for Hoffenheim playmaker Roberto Firmino.
The 23-year-old Brazilian has also been linked with Arsenal and Liverpool.
However, reports in Brazil claim United have won the race – agreeing a £13.1million deal.
Even former Brazil midfielder Jose Elias, who played 22 games for his country and is now a journalist for ESPN, has got in on the story by tweeting that Firmino is set to undergo a medical at United.

Firmino scored seven times last season for Hoffenheim, providing a further 10 assists.
Have you seen Roberto Firmino play previously? Thoughts?
connaissait personnellement qu’il va se passer , et pourtant était encore choqué .
