Madrid Signing
Real Madrid are close to completing their first major transfer of the summer with the signing of Lazio forward Keita Balde, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 21-year-old is one of the most exciting young attackers in Europe.
Balde has reached an agreement in principle to sign a five-year deal with Madrid. The club want to secure his signature and then will allow Zinedine Zidane to decide how he wishes to use the Senegal international. If Balde doesn’t fit into the Frenchman’s plans then he’ll go out on loan, perhaps back to Lazio.
