Real Madrid will announce the signing of Espanyol keeper Kiko Casilla on Friday with the player set to join the club’s pre-season tour in Melbourne immediately.
The delay in David De Gea's switch to Real Madrid has left Rafa Benitez with just one senior keeper but now Keylor Navas, who has only just returned from an Achilles injury, will be joined by Casilla.
The 28-year-old was already part-owned by Madrid so they only pay €6m (£4.2m) for the €12m (£8.3m)-rated keeper.
Espanyol could also take Real Madrid's highly-rated Spain under 19 international Marcos Asensio on loan as part of the deal.
The goalkeeper joins as No 2 to Costa Rican Navas and will become No 2 to De Gea if Real complete the signing of the Manchester United keeper.
Navas has already told the club he will not put up with being a second choice keeper this season so if De Gea joins he will be sold. He has already been offered to both Manchester United and Valencia.
