Olympique Lyon are on the brink of signing Real Madrid striker Mariano Diaz.

Marca says although nothing has yet been finalised, one of the options is that the French side will pay ten million euros for 60% of the player's rights.

Madrid had wanted €15m and a buyback option.

With this other route, the club banks less money but almost half of the rights of the player are still in their hands.

Relations between Florentino Perez and Lyon president, Jean Michel Aulas, have been very good since the transfer of Karim Benzema, and Real will not put obstacles in the way of Mariano looking for more minutes at another club.
