Daniel Ricciardo is understood to have agreed a McLaren deal for 2021 and he is expected to be announced by the Woking outfit this week.
The Australian will replace Carlos Sainz Jr, whose departure for Ferrari will be confirmed in parallel.
Both drivers will come to the end of their initial two-year deals at the conclusion of the 2020 season, although McLaren had an option on Sainz for a third year.
