Real Madrid look set to sign Atletico Madrid youngster Theo Hernandez after the full-back passed a medical with the Bernabeu club.

The 19-year-old left-back, who has been a stand-out performer for Alavés during his loan spell with the Copa del Rey finalists, is available for just €24million this summer due to a clause in his contract.

Such a bargain price for one of Europe's brightest young stars attracted a host of suitors, with Liverpool and Barcelona among those taking an interest.

But it is Real Madrid who look to have won the race, triggering his clause and agreeing a contract with the Marseille-born defender.

Hernandez is expected to sign for the next five years at the Bernabeu and has been earmarked as the long-term successor to Marcelo at the position, but the timing of this move will no doubt come under scrutiny with the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Atleti and Real taking place this week.
