Aston Villa confirmed an agreement to sign a deal with Diego Carlos from Sevilla for £26m
The 29-year-old, who Newcastle United tried to sign in January, will travel to England on Thursday for a medical and to finalize personal terms.
He would be Villa's second signing of the summer following the arrival of Boubacar Kamara from Marseille on a free transfer.
Carlos played six times at last year's Tokyo Olympics where Brazil won gold.
"Sevilla FC would like to thank the player for his work during these years in Seville and wishes him the best of luck in his new journey," the La Liga club read.
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard recently confirmed central defender Ezri Konsa would miss the start of the upcoming season because of a knee injury.
Villa, who finished 14th in the Premier League last season, also completed a deal for Philippe Coutinho to join on a four-year contract from Barcelona earlier in May.
