reported last week how Wigan were looking to land the 24-year-old midfielder - who is also wanted by Benfica.
His agent Luis Da Costa says the player would ideally prefer a move to Lisbon but they are unwilling to wait too much longer for the Portuguese giants.
Benfica's search for a new manager is threatening the deal, seemingly putting Wigan in pole position.
"Yebda has preferred Benfica since the beginning of the negotiations," Da Costa told Portuguese paper
Record.
"But we can't wait forever.
"Rui Costa [Benfica's sporting director] told us to wait until Sunday because they had to sign a new coach, but we still haven't heard anything.
"If nothing happens on Monday, we will give a response to Wigan. And it will be positive.
"If we don't get a very good proposal from Benfica, he will sign a contract for three years with the English club Wigan."
