Real Sociedad fullback Alvaro Odriozola already has a deal in place with Real Madrid.

That's according to former Romania international Gica Craioveanu.

Odriozola is a favourite of Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane and was linked with a move to Los Merengues this month.

Craioveanu told El Mundo Deportivo: "I have heard that Alvaro Odriozola has found an agreement with Real Madrid. He has a very affordable clause."

The fullback's buyout clause is set at €40m. Odriozola is expected to join Real Madrid as competition for Dani Carvajal.
