Bournemouth are confident of signing Barcelona goalkeeper Neto, 33, after further talks on Wednesday night.
Sportsmail revealed earlier this week that the Premier League club had make contact with Barcelona to gauge Neto's availability, and negotiations are progressing well between the two clubs.
The experienced shot-stopper is now expected to complete his move to the Vitality Stadium over the weekend, which would make him the club's fourth summer signing.
With Bournemouth's first game of the season coming on Saturday against Aston Villa, Neto is almost certain to miss this match, but he could then be in contention to play the following week against defending champions Manchester City.
