Real Madrid could reportedly move for Leicester City's Youri Tielemans during next summer's transfer window.
The 24-year-old has excelled for the Foxes since arriving from Monaco in 2019, but his current deal at the King Power Stadium is due to expire in June 2023, which has led to a host of speculation.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Barcelona are among a number of clubs believed to be keen on signing the Belgium international at some stage in the near future.
According to El Nacional, there is also genuine interest from Real Madrid, with Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti identifying Tielemans as a leading midfield target.
The Belgian has again been an important player for Brendan Rodgers's side at the start of the new season, making 10 appearances in all competitions, contributing one goal and two assists in the process.
Real Madrid are also allegedly keen to bring both Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland to the club in 2022.
