Benfica released a statement on Thursday morning say that they had reached an agreement with the Premier League club to sell the goalkeeper for €40m (£34.9m).

The club have reportedly informed the Portuguese stock exchange of the deal but reports claim the transfer cannot be completed until a third-party element is resolved.

The signing, if ratified, will be British record fee for a goalkeeper.
