Patrice Evra's move to Manchester United has moved a step closer to completion after David Gill held talks in Monaco.
United's chief executive flew to the Principality on Thursday and met with both Monaco and the player's representative Frederico Pastorello.
Evra's move is now being described as some '75 percent' complete and Pastorello predicts Monday should see the move finalised.
"We had a meeting in my office with David Gill and Monaco as the two clubs and us talked," Pastorello told skysports.com.
"It went very well and we expect something to be done by the weekend, you could say it is 75 percent done.
"There are a few details to sort out about the deal but by Monday we would hope to be in a position to finalise things.
"We also need time to think about a few things with the contract and the details of the deal."
Pastorello admits that United's have been able to fend off Italian giants Internazionale.
"United have been quicker and shown more urgency and because of this it has fascinated Patrice and he has no doubts that Manchester is the place to go," he continued.
"Inter were not really ready to meet Monaco's asking price, but I think Patrice's decision has already been made."
