Real Madrid have signed Aurelien Tchouameni from AS Monaco on a six-year contract.
The Champions League winners will pay a transfer fee of around €80 million to sign the 22-year-old.
Los Blancos have beaten off competition from Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain to land Tchouameni.
ESPN reports Madrid and Monaco reached an agreement for the deal on Tuesday.
Tchouameni will undergo his medical at the club on Tuesday which will be followed by a news conference.
He is viewed by Madrid as a potential long-term replacement for Casemiro, 30, and will form part of a new midfield partnership alongside Federico Valverde (23) and Eduardo Camavinga (19).
As well as Tchouameni, they have confirmed the signing of Germany defender Antonio Rudiger on a free transfer from Chelsea.
