The striker spent time at St James' Park last season on a loan deal that Ferguson was "a favour for Glenn Roeder" because of the injury problems at St James' Park.However Roeder hardly played him, which infuriated Ferguson.
Rossi's future had been the subject of intense debate for most of the summer after an impressive loan spell at Parma at the end of last season.
The deal is subject to a medical but is expected to be completed before the end of the week, allowing Rossi to effectively replace another former United player, Diego Forlan, who enjoyed three productive seasons at Villarreal before leaving for Atletico Madrid last month.
