OFFICIAL: Real Madrid Sign Getafe's Pedro LeonThe Spanish winger has put pen to paper a six year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu...
Real Madrid have confirmed via their official website that a deal has been struck with La Liga minnows Getafe over the transfer of Spanish winger Pedro Leon.
According to the official announcement, Pedro Leon, 23, will sign a six-year contract with Los Blancos. The transfer is only subject to a physical, which will take place on Friday morning.
While no transfer fee has been reported, the Spanish press believe that a sum in the region of ?10 million has been agreed between the two sides.
Speculation was rife over the past couple of weeks that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and General Director Jorge Valdano were interested in signing the young Spaniard, but were waiting the seal of approval by coach Jose Mourinho.
Pedro Leon, who previously played for Spain's Under-21 side, began his professional career in 2005 with Real Murcia. He played with Levante and Valladolid before moving to Getafe, where he was a key figure in the Europa League qualification.
Pedro Leon is Jose Mourinho's third signing as Real Madrid manager, with Angel di Maria and Sergio Canales the two others.
The official presentation of Pedro Leon will also take place on Friday at 12:30 CET, at the Presidential Balcony of the Santiago Bernabeu.
