The deal will likely be finalised sooner rather than later as the Europa League holders look to bolster their defensive ranks in the midst of an inconsistent season. Los Colchoneros currently sit in sixth place in La Liga with 23 points, 17 behind leaders Barcelona.
The 26-year-old has reportedly been on the radar of several European clubs for the past two years, including Bayern Munich, Lazio, and Milan.
The defender has been capped a handful of times by Brazil in his career and made over 100 appearances for the Tricolor Paulista since moving there from Sochaux in 2006.
No details on a price-tag for the centre-back have been released as of yet and neither club have confirmed the deal but an official announcement is expected in the near future. Stay with Goal.com for the latest developments.
