According to apasport.az, the Baku-based club reached a full agreement with the player and will pay a transfer fee of €250,000 (approximately AZN 485,000) to complete the move.
McCarthy has already arrived in Baku and is expected to finalise the transfer by signing his contract with the Azerbaijani side.
The defender is also a member of South Africa's Under-23 national team and is regarded as one of the country's promising young talents.
