Atletico Madrid have reached a verbal agreement to bring 19-year-old forward Marc Domenech to the club on loan from Mallorca, with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. The club-to-club arrangement is in place, but a medical examination in Madrid and remaining formalities must be completed before the deal is official.

According to Yahoo Sports, which relayed reporting from Fabrizio Romano via Fichajes, Domenech is expected to travel to Madrid to undergo medical tests once those final steps are addressed.

Domenech spent last season on loan at Ceuta, where he scored one goal in eight appearances. He is still a teenager but has now attracted the attention of one of Spain's largest clubs. The loan structure gives Atletico a low-risk path to evaluate the player before committing to a permanent deal.

The report noted that Atletico opened their league season with a win over Malaga. The club also held onto striker Julian Alvarez despite reported interest from Barcelona during the summer window. Adding Domenech would continue the club's activity in the final stretch of the transfer period.

The option to buy included in the loan agreement means Atletico could move to sign Domenech outright if he performs well during the campaign. No figures related to a potential purchase price were included in the report.

The transfer will be confirmed once the medical examination is cleared and all paperwork is finalized.
