Sheffield United are closing in on the £2million capture of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Ivo Grbic.
Grbic flew in for a medical on Tuesday.
The 6ft 5in goalkeeper has not played for Atletico this season and was permitted to leave the Wanda Metropolitano ahead of his contract expiry this summer.
He never dislodged Jan Oblak in the Spanish capital but did accumulate Ligue 1 and Champions League experience on loan at Lille in 2020/21.
Grbic, 28, started his career in his native Croatia before leaving for Spain in 2020.
If the deal is formalised, Grbic will become the second incoming at Bramall Lane this transfer window after they secured the loan signing of Ben Brereton-Diaz from Villarreal.
