Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia.
The 19-year-old was strongly linked with a return to Barcelona over the summer, but the Catalan giants could not come to an agreement with the Citizens over a transfer fee.
Garcia has signalled that he does not want to extend his contract at the Etihad Stadium, meaning that as it stands he will be a free agent next summer.
Barca could return with an offer for the teenager in January, but according to Sport, Madrid have also joined the race for the Spain international.
The report claims that Villarreal's Pau Torres has also emerged as a potential option for Zinedine Zidane's side either in January or at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
Madrid will allegedly make an announcement on Sergio Ramos's future at the start of next week.
