Real Madrid 'weighing up Jose Gaya approach'

Real Madrid are reportedly considering a summer move for Valencia defender Jose Gaya.

The Spanish giants could be in the market for a new left-back ahead of the 2020-21 campaign as Marcelo continues to be linked with a move away from the club.

Ferland Mendy has emerged as Madrid's leading choice on the left, but the capital outfit would more than likely have to seek another option if Marcelo departs, potentially for Juventus.

According to reports in Spain, Gaya has emerged as a target for Zinedine Zidane's side, with Valencia said to be under pressure to raise funds this summer in order to meet the Financial Fair Play regulations.

The 24-year-old, who has previously been linked with both Manchester United and Chelsea, will see his current deal at the Mestalla expire at the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

The full-back has again been an important player for Los Che this season, making 28 appearances in all competitions, while he has featured 223 times in total for the club since debuting in 2012.
