Real Madrid say they have agreed to sign Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy on a three-year contract. Madrid announced the deal in a statement on their website on Thursday, but gave no details of a fee.
United were believed to be demanding at least £15m for the 30-year-old, who had handed in a written transfer request.
In their statement, Real said they would present Van Nistelrooy - who scored 150 goals for United - on Friday evening after a medical in the morning.
Reports earlier on Thursday said Real would pay about £10.2m (15m Euros) for the Dutchman.
