Everton has snapped up Porto left back Nuno Valente, in a deal believed to be worth a cut-price £1 million.
The Portugal international leaves Porto after they asked him to not play for his nation in order to concentrate on his club football.
The pressure so incensed the defender that it has precipitated his exit, and it is Everton that have signed the 30-year-old.
The player has revealed that an agreement is in place on both his price and his contract at Everton, and that he will travel to England to complete a medical.
"I leave a little disillusioned with many people, but I will talk about that later," said Valente.
"This is a moment of great sadness for me after everything have done with Porto.
"The club had its reasons and I respect them but I have mine as well and I have my opinion on that.
"I want to thank the fans or the way they have treated me and I will continue to support them."
The 30-year-old's first trip to Everton will be brief as he will soon join up with the Portugal squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Russia and Luxembourg.
