Luiz Razia, a 23-year-old Brazilian, looks set to secure the Marussia race seat for 2013 recently vacated by salaried driver Timo Glock.
Brazil's Globo said Razia, the 2012 GP2 runner-up, had secured the place "after months of negotiations".
The driver's management however did not confirm the deal when contacted by the British broadcaster Sky.
"At the moment we have made no decision," a spokesman said.
Racing for Marussia in F1 therefore remains a "dream" of Razia for now.
A dream helped, nevertheless, by the $15 million the Brazilian has in sponsorship money, according to Finnish newspaper Turun Sanomat's numbers.
As far as race seats are concerned, Marussia has so far only confirmed rookie Max Chilton, who will debut the team's new MR02 car at Jerez next Tuesday, when "the rest of the testing schedule will also be communicated".
