The Argentine, who join United from West Ham a year ago, is half-way through a two year loan arrangement between United and sports investment firm, MSI, who own the player's economic rights.
Both parties are eager to push through the deal which is expected to rise to a figure of around £35 million, considerably more than the £30.6 million Chelsea paid AC Milan for Andrei Shevchenko.
United are currently paying around £5 million a season to 'lease' Tevez, with an option to buy him outright at any time.
Though a deal may be struck this week, full payment may be delayed until January, or even next summer, so as not to limit Sir Alex Ferguson's transfer budget in this window.
Ferguson is keen to bring Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham and has not been dissuaded from his pursuit by noises from White Hart Lane complaining about "tapping-up" by United or an official complaint lodged by Tottenham about United's behaviour.
David Gill, United's chief executive, spoke recently of the need to resolve the Tevez issue before next summer and with the player eager to stay with the English and European champions there should be little barrier to the deal being struck.
Tevez has quickly become an integral part of Ferguson's attack, scoring 19 goals in 48 appearances for United in his first season.
United currently have the record for a transfer between two English clubs, the £29.1 million they paid to Leeds United for Rio Ferdinand in 2002.
