Real Madrid are in the market for a backup to Casemiro and Rennes’ Eduardo Camavinga is the first option, claims Marca.
The La Liga side also have other targets in mind and the list includes Chelsea star N’Golo Kanté.
It’s claimed Zinedine Zidane has ‘always liked’ the France international and his employers have been following him since he ‘dazzled’ under Claudio Ranieri at Leicester City.
The 29-year-old is one of the best holding midfielders in Europe after establishing himself at Chelsea and France. This makes it ‘more complicated’ for Los Blancos to land him.
Kanté’s current deal at Stamford Bridge is until 2023 and Frank Lampard’s side value him around €80m. Therefore, it’s difficult for the Spanish capital club to find an agreement with the Blues.
The former Foxes player is constantly discussed as a target for the La Liga giants in the French and Spanish press.
Marca’s report makes it clear the Chelsea man is not a priority target for Real Madrid as their focus remains on Camavinga, who is much younger and a cheaper option than Kanté.
Apart from the aforementioned duo, Lille’s Boubakary Soumaré and AS Monaco midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni are also being discussed at Real Madrid.
