Barcelona and Sevilla have reached terms over a fee for Jules Kounde.
Sport says rather than dragging things out, Barca acted quickly last week, tabling an offer of €50m up front plus €10m in bonuses.
Knowing the player wants to see the move happen, Sevilla have accepted the proposal despite a rival offer from Chelsea.
Barça have already reached a pre-agreement with the French player, for four seasons, and they hope to close the transfer this coming week.
Kounde has been watching developments from Lagos, in Portugal, with the Sevilla squad now in Lisbon for a friendly against Sporting CP.
