The 29-year-old is available on a free transfer after leaving Barcelona and has been linked with a host of clubs.
Afellay's old side, PSV, have been trying to persuade him to move back to Netherlands, while Sporting have also held talks with the Netherlands international.
But Goal understands that Stoke have made progress in their pursuit of Afellay, who could even undergo a medical with the club on Monday.
The Potters want to add a winger to their ranks and have recently failed with ambitious bids to land Xherdan Shaqiri and Yevhen Konoplyanka.
Now, however, they are confident that they have succeeded in persuading Afellay to move to the Britannia Stadium.
The Dutchman, who struggled with injuries during his time with Barcelona, spent last season on loan with Greek side Olympiakos.
