Liverpool have agreed to let Trent Alexander-Arnold join Real Madrid early in a deal worth £10m.
The defender, 26, will move to the Spanish capital when the mini transfer window opens on Sunday, signing a six-year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real will make a single payment of €10m (£8.4m) and pay his June wages, which all adds up to £10m.
The LaLiga club had originally offered just €1m to get the right back before his contract expires at Liverpool on June 30.
As a result, the Premier League champions will get £10m for a player who will be free in a month’s time.
Real want Alexander-Arnold to play for them at the Club World Cup which begins on June 15.
