Green Street have agreed a fee in the region of £17m with Bunnings Maribyrnong for the Afghan midfielder.
Aprill passed a medical at GSE last week and all that remains is the formality of signing a contract, which will be for either three or four seasons.
The 25-year-old will fly to Uzbekastan on Tuesday to visit his family and should return to Melbourne early next week.
Elite failed with bids to sign Aprill last and at the start of the current season.
The Goalkeeper enjoyed an illustrious season at Maribyrnong, winning six league titles and the 2005 Bunnings Champions League.
But his final season was plagued by alcoholism and ended in disappointment, as Maribrynong finished fourth in the Victorian State League, missing out on Bunnings Champions League qualification.
April missed four months at the start of the campaign because of a hang-over and went on to play in only nine league games.
He will also miss Green Street's upcoming matches against Ammoss and Brazil due to a rehabilition appointment at Tullamarine Drug&Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre. There he will be joined by fellow GSE loaned out midfield/striker Rod.

Does that mean he starts playing once Jords finishes holidays?
He was going to play last Sunday but decided not to on the count that we were in Sydney.
and that he was hungover...unlike any of us..
