Javier Hernandez to sign permanent deal at Real Madrid

Real Madrid are believed to be keen on tying up on-loan Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez to a permanent contract, The Express reports.

The Mexican international joined Los Blancos from the Red Devils on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day, following the confirmation of the arrival of Radamel Falcao at Old Trafford.

According to The Express, Los Blancos have enquired on the possibility of signing up Chicharito on a permanent deal, but want the Mancunian giants to lower their asking price, which currently stands at £17m.

Serie A giants Juventus are also monitoring the proceedings.
