On Thursday, an agreement in principle for Iker Bravo was reached between Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen. Although the transfer is not yet finalized, Raul's Castilla is very close to signing the Spanish striker, an international with the national team's youth teams who left Barcelona a year ago.

Agents of the player traveled to Germany to carry out this mission. The parties involved in the process are confident that a clear understanding will be reached this week. In that case, Iker would arrive in Madrid at the start of the next week.

The commitment will be made in the form of a one-season loan with a purchase option of more than 6 million euros and variables based on sports performance. The cost is approximately 150,000 euros, and  another 100,000 euros should be added if he plays 20 games.

Thus, Real Madrid beat rivals Atletico who were close to capture this transfer, but everything changed after the player claimed his wish to play for Real Madrid.

At Real Madrid they see this a powerful reinforcement for Castilla and even for the Juvenil A Youth League. Iker Bravo will have to focus on performing in the subsidiary, with the aim of promotion to the Second Division. In Valdebebas he will have an exceptional teacher, Raúl.
