Meanwhile, Real Madrid have reportedly enquired about a move for Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie.

ESPN say a deal for the Ecuador defender would be “complicated” given that Hincapie’s permanent move to the Gunners is only set to be confirmed this summer, following his initial loan spell during the last campaign.

Manchester City duo Rúben Dias and Josko Gvardiol are also believed to be among Madrid’s targets, however, though Gvardiol is reportedly set to sign a new long-term deal with City.
