Real Madrid are expected to complete the signing of 17-year-old Rodrigo Rodrigues from Novorizontino, the club's president has confirmed.
The youngster is said to have travelled to Valdebebas to undergo a medical on Thursday and will sign a six-year deal with the Spanish and European champions.
"Rodrigo is in Madrid having a medical and, if there is nothing untoward, he'll sign with the club for six seasons," Genilson da Rocha Santos told AS.
"Rodrigo is a complete forward, who can play out wide or in the middle. He's very quick, explosive and he's developed a lot since he started here at Novorizontino at the age of 14.
"We're proud to see him shine in a European tournament and to see a club like Real Madrid become interested in him."
Madrid's interest was reportedly sparked when scouts watched Rodrigo in an Under-17 Club World Cup tournament in the city.
