Real Madrid are looking to the future at right-back, with Dani Carvajal’s injury woes a concern.
The 32-year-old has been a key player for Los Blancos for many years, but he has been hampered by injuries in recent seasons.
As a result, Real Madrid are looking to sign a young right-back who can eventually take over from Carvajal.
According to Marca, they have identified Manchester City’s Yan Couto as a potential target.
The 21-year-old Brazilian has been in impressive form on loan at Girona this season, making 19 appearances in La Liga.
Couto is under contract at City until 2025, but Real Madrid are confident that they can negotiate a deal with the Premier League champions.
The player himself is reportedly keen on a move to the Santiago Bernabéu, which would be a major boost for Real Madrid.
Couto is a highly-rated talent and he has the potential to be one of the best right-backs in the world.
If Real Madrid can sign him, it would be a major coup for the club.
