Lyon fullback Ferland Mendy was undergoing a Real Madrid medical on Tuesday.

L'Equipe says Mendy was taking his Real Madrid medical in the afternoon.

The Spanish giants have sent two doctors from their medical staff to Clairefontaine to carry out the check-up on the Lyon left-back, who is there with the France squad.

Provided Mendy passes the medical an announcement could be expected in the next few hours over his signing by Real Madrid.

After several weeks of negotiation (Juninho Pernambucano the new sports director at Lyon has approved the sale) the operation is expected to cost Real Madrid €55m.
