Benfica are swooping for Real Madrid striker Raul de Tomas.

Marca says Real Madrid and Benfica have reached an agreement over the transfer of the De Tomas to the Portuguese club. The move is expected to be completed imminently.

The Lisbon club are set to pay a sum of over €20m for the forward, even though Los Blancos began negotiations with a €35m asking price.

The deal is only missing the final agreement between Benfica and De Tomas, which is not considered to hold any complication.

De Tomas was one of the top-performing strikers in LaLiga Santander last campaign, scoring 14 goals for relegated Rayo Vallecano.
