Marcos Llorente has reportedly started to consider his future at Real Madrid due to a lack of playing time.
The academy graduate is currently being given a run in the side by Santiago Solari, with six appearances coming since the end of October.
However, Llorente's chance came as a result of an injury to Casemiro and according to ESPN, the 23-year-old is wary of being dropped from the team.
The report suggests that the holding midfielder will call for talks with the club's hierarchy should he only play a bit-part role over the next period of the campaign.
LLorente still has just over two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, but the Spaniard will be hoping to add to just seven starts in La Liga since progressing from the youth setup.
