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 he 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, 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.
