Benfica midfielder Petit is reportedly on the brink of completing a move to Bundesliga side FC Köln.
Negotiations between the two clubs are at a very advanced stage and a deal could be struck in the next few hours.
Although the figure FC Köln will have to spend to secure the services of Petit is still unknown, it is reported that the 31-year-old midfielder has been offered a two-year contract with an option for a further year.
Petit has been an ever-present figure at Estádio da Luz since he arrived from Boavista nearly six years ago despite enduring an indifferent 2007/08 season in which he was hampered by several injuries that almost ruled him out of Euro 2008.
He will now fulfill is dream of playing abroad, with reports suggesting that his wages will be almost doubled in case he completes a move to the recently-promoted German club.
