Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly locked in a three-way battle to sign Nice's 18-year-old centre-back Malang Sarr this summer.

Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly locked in a three-way battle for Nice centre-back Malang Sarr.

The 18-year-old has represented Nice since the age of five, and the teenager made 32 appearances in all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit during the 2016-17 campaign.

According to Sky Sports News, Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid sent scouts to watch Sarr on a number of occasions last term, and all three are preparing moves for the defender in this summer's transfer window.

Meanwhile, the same report claims that Arsenal tried to sign the teenager before he penned professional terms with Nice.

Sarr has a £35.9m release clause inserted into his current deal at the Allianz Riviera.
