Real Madrid 'still interested in Ferran Torres'

Real Madrid are reportedly firmly in the hunt for Valencia attacker Ferran Torres.

The 19-year-old has scored four times and provided three assists in 20 appearances for Los Che this season and played the full 90 minutes against Madrid in La Liga on Sunday night.

A host of European clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Juventus, are allegedly interested in signing the Spain Under-21 international in next summer's transfer window.

However, according to AS, Zinedine Zidane's side are also keen on a swoop for the teenager, who is believed to have an £88m release clause in his contract at the Mestalla.

The report claims that Los Blancos have made numerous attempts to sign the Spaniard over the last few years but have not been put off by their failure to secure a deal.

Torres came through the academy system at Valencia and has already made 73 appearances for the former Spanish champions despite the fact that he will not turn 20 until February.
