Real Madrid are lining up a summer swoop for Liverpool midfielder Emre Can, according to El Gol Digital.
The European champions have identified the Germany international as a potential replacement for Luka Modric, who has been tipped to leave the Spanish giants this summer.
Modric, 32, has been heavily linked with a number of heavyweight clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United.
Can, who will be out of contract this summer and could join Los Blancos on a free transfer at the end of the season.
The Merseyside giants are keen to retain Can’s services, but reports suggest that the 24-year-old defensive midfielder is also being courted by Juventus and Bayern Munich.
