Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid finalise Theo Hernandez deal

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid now have a deal in place for Theo Hernandez.

Marca says Real will pay their city rivals a couple of million more than his €24 million buyout clause in order to reduce tensions and will do so in four instalments.

Directors of both clubs have held a number of meetings on the subject and the signing off on the deal suggests that the non-aggression pact the two clubs have maintained for several years has come to an end.

The 19-year-old, who has spent the 2016/17 season on loan at Alaves, was determined for the transfer to happen, despite being under pressure to change his mind ever since his agent first told Los Rojiblancos' directors of his intentions.

Now his signature will soon be on Real Madrid paper and he will be presented at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the first week of July.
