Man United broke the news of the deal to the Stock Exchange early this morning and Chelsea chief Exec Trevor Birch revealed: "They have accepted our bid of £15m. Now, providing he wishes to speak to us, we can proceed with negotiating personal terms and putting him through a medical."
Personal terms and a medical shouldn't cause any problems. Veron's agent said "The player will arrive in London at midday. He's going to take his medical tests and he will sign a four-year contract.
"He is happy. It has been a club (United's) decision, and he has accepted it. He is ready to the best that he can with this new opportunity at Chelsea."
Chelsea will pay an initial £12.5 million for Veron, rising to £15 million depending on how successful we are.
