Juventus and Barcelona target Gabriel Barbosa expects a transfer away from Santos to be confirmed shortly.
The Brazilian club said this week they had accepted a €20million bid from the Serie A champions for the 19-year-old forward, though Barca retain first refusal on any transfer.
Gabriel himself says he is now very close to finalising a move away from the Campeonato Brasileiro, though he would not confirm his destination.
"I am not signed yet, I am a Santos and Brazil player," he said at a media conference on Thursday. "I am very happy to represent Santos here. Soon, things are going to be sorted.
"Our focus is only here. Before we came, I was in negotiations, and starting from then I left it with my father and my representatives. I think that soon a decision is going to be taken."
The forward, nicknamed 'Gabigol', admits he is looking forward to the prospect of playing alongside his former team-mate when the Rio 2016 football tournament gets underway next week.
"I played with him on my debut. It was a farewell after a short time," he said.
"It's very good to play with him. He's a star, you don't need to say anything else. Playing with him is easy."
