Defender Theo Hernandez, currently on loan at Alaves from Athletico Madrid, passed a medical with record European football champions Real Madrid, according to Spanish media reports on Monday.
The 19-year-old left-back passed the checkup successfully without any problems, reports Efe.
According to the reports, the Marseille-born defender will continue his career wearing the Real Madrid jersey.
He has a 24 million euros ($26.2 million) clause which Real Madrid are set to pay to Atletico at the end of the season, making him the first signing of the 2017-18 season.
The player and the club hope to announce the move officially after the Copa del Rey final between Alaves and Barcelona on May 27.
