Real Madrid have stolen a march on Manchester United by agreeing an option to sign Sao Paulo defender Cicinho.
United thought they were leading the chase for the highly-rated right back after Sir Alex Ferguson spoke with the South American during the player's recent trip to Europe.
However, Real are now firmly in pole position after brokering a deal with Sao Paulo.
It has been reported that the agreement allows Real to sign the 25-year-old in the future, even though they appear well covered in that position with Michel Salgado and Carlos Diogo competing for the role.
A five-year deal has been agreed for Cicinho and he will become a Real player as soon as the Spanish giants decide to complete the transfer.
The Brazilian is obtaining an Italian passport which will smooth his passage to Europe.
