Real Madrid are poised to lure Sporting Lisbon star William Carvalho to the Santiago Bernabeu, fending off interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.
Carvalho's future has been up in the air all summer and talkSPORT informed you first last month that Los Blancos have been preparing a significant offer for the 23-year-old.
Although Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has tracked the defensive midfielder's progress for some time, Sporting have yet to receive a concrete offer from the Premier League side for the Portugal international.
And now, according to AS, Madrid boss Rafael Benitez is ready to show his hand and sanction a £32m offer.
Real are due to meet with Carvalho's agent Jorge Mendes to thrash out the terms of the dea, meaning only a late bid from Arsenal or Chelsea could disrupt the transfer from going through.
