Fabrizio Romano reports that the deal could rise to just over £4m if performance figures are met once Van de Beek joins for an initial paltry fee.
The Dutchman, 27, joined Manchester United from Ajax in 2020.
He had starred alongside the likes of Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt in an Ajax side that had reached the Champions League semi-final the year before.
But his time at United did not live up to expectation.

The deal included an £8.5million option to buy but the German side opted not to activate it after he made just eight league appearances for them.
According to Fabrizio Romano, a deal is agreed between United and Girona.
