Liverpool have continued their flurry of activity ahead of Wednesday night's transfer deadline by setting up the signing of Deportivo La Coruna defender Alvaro Arbeloa.
With Rafa Benitez targeting three signings over the next couple of days, the centre back is travelling to Merseyside to undergo a medical.
Malaga's Francis Duran has agreed to his switch to Anfield and Javier Mascherano looks likely to obtain permission from FIFA to arrive from West Ham.
Benitez has looked to his homeland again to swoop for Arbeloa after thrashing out a deal with Depor.
"The club has got a very good investment," declared coach Joaquin Caparros in confirming the transfer.
Real Madrid are entitled to 50 percent of the profit on the money earned on the 24-year-old, who has made 14 appearances this term, after he started his career with the capital club.
Arbeloa is at home at centre half or right back.
