Real Madrid are tracking the progress of Bayern Munich and Canada defender Alphonso Davies.
The full-back, 21, is one of the rising stars of European football and has been a key man for Bayern since he moved to the German champions in 2018, laying on 21 assists and scoring five times in 127 appearances.
He previously made his breakthrough with Vancouver Whitecaps in his native Canda, making his debut aged just 15.
Despite a difficult period that has seen Davies struggle with injuries and be diagnosed with a heart problem, Los Blancos are still keen on him.
According to Spanish journalist Jose Felix Diaz , via MARCA’s Twich channel, the Canadian, who’s deal runs until 2025, is one of the players that Madrid are keeping a close eye on.
‘From Bayern, the name they have most in mind is Davies,’ Felix responded to a message from a follower who suggested that Los Blancos should make a move for Joshua Kimmich.
It is believed the club think that left-back is a position they can improve. Ferland Mendy is the current first choice in that position, although legendary Madrid defender Marcelo departed in the summer.
Davies has played 12 times for Bayern so far this campaign, with Julian Nagelsmann’s side enduring a tricky start to the season, as they lie in fourth place in the Bundesliga, four points behind surprise early-season leaders Union Berlin.
The defender has also won 32 caps for Canada, scoring a remarkable 12 times.
He will be expected to be a big part of their efforts in Qatar at the World Cup this winter after the Maple Leafs qualified for their first World Cup since 1986.
