Theo Hernandez has joined Real Madrid from city rivals Atletico Madrid.
The 19-year-old will be presented at the Bernabeu on Monday after completing a move for an undisclosed fee, reported to be around 26m euros.
Hernandez has yet to play a competitive first-team game for Atletico but impressed while on loan at Copa del Rey finalists Alaves last season.
Real announced the France Under-20 international has signed a six-year deal, and he becomes the first player since Santiago Solari in 2000 to make the switch between the city rivals.
A statement on Real's website read: "Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have agreed the transfer of Theo Hernandez, who will be contracted to the club for the next six seasons.
"The player will be presented next Monday, 10 July at 7:30 pm, in the presidential box at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, after undergoing the corresponding medical examination."
Atletico added on their own website: "The player, who was under contract until 2021, has rejected several times the renewal offers and the offers of different European clubs to hire his services, as well as stating repeatedly his firm desire to play for Real Madrid."
