The plans will be put to the Cabinet on Wednesday afternoon - more than two years after Britain voted to leave the bloc of 28 countries.
The Daily Mail leads with the headline 'Judgment Day', reporting May will insist it is 'make or break'.
Inside, the paper's leader said: 'The people's will today is to get Brexit over and end the uncertainty. For the people's sake, give Mrs May's hard-won deal a chance.'
The i's headline of 'deal done' gives way to a list of the potential obstacles facing Mrs May, adding: 'Now all the Prime Minister has to do is get it past her Cabinet, the Commons, the Lords, the DUP and 27 EU nations...'
