Real Madrid are swooping for Girona striker Marc Gual.

Gual has accepted an offer from Real to join the Castilla team and a deal is expected to be confirmed some time on Thursday, says AS.

Real have been following the forward since 2018 and made their move for him this week.

Gual is happy dropping into Segunda B with Castilla as he believes the switch will be better for his development. At Segunda Girona, he's found himself behind the likes of Cristhian Stuani and Jonathan Soriano.

Gual is on-loan at Girona from Sevilla and will sign for Castilla in a similar arrangement to the end of the season.
