The Portuguese side originally demanded the full £35million buy-out clause for the 22-year-old, but media outlet O Jogo claim the Gunners could see their £24m up-front bid accepted.
Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid have all been linked with Carvalho, who featured for Portugal at the World Cup, but the Gunners are now favourites for his signature.
Arsenal’s move for Real Madrid star Sami Khedira appears to have stalled due to wage demands so second choice Carvalho could become Wenger’s fourth major summer signing.
Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal’s spending is not over this summer and the north London club are hoping to get more deals done before the end of the transfer window.
