Real Madrid has verbally agreed with Leganes to transfer Lamine Fati, an 18-year-old left-footed central defender. The deal, pending final signatures, involves a payment of over €100,000, approximately matching his release clause.

Fati, born in Spain to African parents, has been a regular in Leganes B team, competing in the third division. His impressive performances have caught the attention of Real Madrid's academy coaches.
