Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has reportedly passed a medical with Real Madrid.
Kepa, 23, will see his current deal with Bilbao expire at the end of the season, and Real Madrid have been strongly linked with a move for the highly-rated stopper since the latter stages of 2017.
According to Marca, the former Spain Under-21 international has now undergone a medical examination with the Spanish giants, and he will make the move to the Bernabeu for a figure in the region of £18m.
Kepa has made 14 La Liga appearances for Bilbao this season, and is also expected to be a part of the Spain squad that travels to the World Cup in Russia.
The stopper's arrival could see Kiko Casilla, who has previously been linked with Newcastle United, leave Real Madrid before the end of the month.
