Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Real Betis defender Junior Firpo at the end of the season.
Junior only made his first-team debut for Betis in February, but has already scored five times in 32 appearances for the Spanish outfit in all competitions.
This season, the 22-year-old has scored three times in 18 appearances in all competitions, and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is believed to be an admirer.
According to AS, Real Madrid view Junior as a long-term replacement for Marcelo, with the European champions prepared to meet his £45m buy-out clause at the end of the season.
Juventus have also been credited with an interest in the versatile left-sided player.
