The 22-year-old, who broke into Porto's fist team in July 2013 and has made 23 appearances since, will join the Basque outfit next season.

A statement from the club read: "Real Sociedad have reached a preliminary agreement with FC Porto and Diego Reyes for the Mexican player to play on loan next season at Real Sociedad.

"The agreement does not include an option to buy.

"The deal will be completed once the player passes a medical and signs the contract after his participation in the Gold Cup."
