While no transfer fee has been reported, the Spanish press believe that a sum in the region of €10 million has been agreed between the two sides.

Speculation was rife over the past couple of weeks that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and General Director Jorge Valdano were interested in signing the young Spaniard, but were waiting the seal of approval by coach Jose Mourinho.
