According to Marca, the 14-time UEFA Champions League winners are eager to add Super Eagle Samuel Chukwueze to their ranks at the end of the season.
The 23-year-old has perhaps flown under the radar with his performances this season, but following his brace against Real at the Santiago Bernabeu last weekend, the winger took his tally to 13 goals for the campaign.
Couple his goals on the weekend with his 11 assists across all competitions, and the Umahaia native has now reportedly caught the eye of Los Blancos president Florentino Perez, with the Spanish executive said to want to pair the west African with Vinicius Junior on the Spanish giants' flanks.
The Villarreal man's contract at the Estadio de la Ceramica expires in June next year, but given his form, he could look to leverage a move to a bigger club in the next window.
The Nigeria international has also garnered the attention of Premier League sides such as Aston Villa and Arsenal, but the same report suggests that he prefers to move to the Spanish capital rather than England.

The 24-time Nigeria international is reported to have a €100 million (R2 billion) release clause in his deal, but it is believed the Yellow Submarine would be willing to part ways with Chukwueze for €50 million (R1 billion) in the off-season.
