The 27-year-old has made 31 appearances for Sevilla in all competitions this term and is believed to have recently attracted interest from Liverpool and Barca.
Spanish outlet Marca reports that Madrid are also keeping tabs on the Brazilian defender with a view to making a move when the transfer window opens for business.
