Real Madrid hope to field Diarra on Wednesday
Real Madrid hope to unveil new signing Mahamadou Diarra on Wednesday in the Santiago Bernabeu trophy match against Anderlecht.
Lyon have accepted a £17.7 million offer from Real for the Mali midfielder, who met with Real directors in Geneva, Switzerland, yesterday to finalise personal terms.
Diarra and his agent, Frederic Guerra, met with Real sports chief Predrag Mijatovic and director Franco Baldini and thrashed out the player's contract over dinner.
The midfielder was talked down from his original £2.5 million-a-year demands to £1.8 million-a-year, though his Real deal will carry major incentive bonuses.
Diarra will be in Madrid tomorrow for his medical and to join his new teammates ahead of taking the field in a Real shirt on Wednesday evening.
