French football club Monaco have agreed to a 10 million-euro ($10.8 million) deal with Brazil's Atletico Mineiro to sign highly rated centre-back Jemerson.
The 23-year-old was due to travel to France on Thursday to undergo a medical and sign a contract, reports Xinhua.

The club's Argentine forward Lucas Pratto is reportedly being pursued by Spain's Celta Vigo.
