West Ham and Palmeiras have exchanged the documents with a transfer for striker Luis Guilherme understood to be close, according to Eduardo Rodrigues.
The Globo journalist reported on 3 June that the deal will be a total of £25.5million including bonuses as the Hammers look to seal the deal.
This comes after claims that Saudi Arabian clubs were looking to hijack the deal and a move for the Brazilian was off the cards, per Ben Jacobs.
Rodrigues wrote on Twitter: “Palmeiras exchanges documents with West Ham and is close to selling Luis Guilherme. As reported by @brunoandrd and @andrehernan, it is for 23 million fixed euros and another 7 million euros in bonuses.”
