The fact he went there shows that he intends to agree to a deal.   He wishes to be portrayed as the guy who negotiated an amazing deal against all odds.

There's a simply rotten deal all set and ready to go, but of necessity it's a complete bodge full of compromise, and on New Year's Eve it will be announced at the last possible minute and hailed as a triumph of international cooperation and successful diplomacy, whilst the following day when the hangovers rebound around the UK and the continent, everyone will complain and pick holes etc. but it's 1st January - deal done, Brexit, tough luck.
