Real Madrid have reached an agreement to sign Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth, according to Marca, with only the timeline for the official announcement still to be finalised.

With 12 players out due to injury or suspension, including Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo and Aurélien Tchouaméni, Carlo Ancelotti was forced to start a much-changed lineup at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Hansi Flick's side were seconds away from being confirmed as champions without playing, only for Madrid to score with practically the last kick of the game at the Bernabeu.

Espanyol sit 16th in the table and an upset win would guarantee their place in La Liga for next season.
