"The player will undergo a medical in the coming days before signing a contract for five years," said a Real statement.

Sports newspaper AS said that the Spanish champions would fork out 13 million euros for the player with Marca quoting the figure at 14 million euros.

The 20-year-old, who was also rumoured to be a transfer target for Chelsea, had been putting pressure on the Dutch club to let him leave for one of Europe's glamour teams.

Real are also still said to be chasing Chelsea's Dutch international winger Arjen Robben ahead of the new season, which gets underway on August 25.
