Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement on a transfer fee with Lyon for Tanguy Ndombele, but with personal terms yet to be ironed out, Manchester United trying to hijack the deal cannot be discounted, it has been claimed in France.
Spurs finally have an agreement for Ndombele following intense talks with Lyon and, according to French sports daily L'Equipe, the Premier League club will pay an initial €62m.
The agreement also contains add-ons to the tune of €10m, which Lyon believe should be easily reached as they depend on Tottenham qualifying for the Champions League.
While the transfer fee is agreed, Tottenham have though not yet finalised personal terms with the player.
Much work has been done on a contract, but there are still several details that are unresolved and must be agreed.
Meetings will be held in the coming hours to finalise the contract for Ndombele to sign.
While the contract is not signed however, there remains an opening for other clubs.
It is claimed Paris Saint-Germain will not try to hijack the deal as they focus on other priorities, while Juventus are out of the race due to the imminent signing of Adrien Rabiot.
Manchester United though are the potential surprise package.
The Red Devils making a late move for Ndombele has not been ruled out, however at present they are claimed to be focused on resolving Paul Pogba's situation.
