Reports early on Monday had suggested the club may be gazumped by another team for Guilherme.
However, a £25.5 million fee to take the 18-year-old to the London Stadium appears all but set.
The two parties only have a few minor details to resolve before the transfer can go through.
Guilherme will soon travel for his medical before signing on the dotted line for the London club.
