Real Madrid are readying a bid for Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden.
The Mirror says there is growing 'belief' at Real Madrid that they could take advantage and make a move for the City star.
Zinedine Zidane's side have kept an eye on the progress of Foden for several years and are on the hunt to secure the best young talent in football.
Foden was expected to be a regular starter for Manchester City this season, after impressing at the end of last season and following the departure of club legend David Silva.
However he has spent yet more time on the substitutes' bench, which was a particular source of angst during the Manchester derby earlier this month.
He also was left on the bench for the majority of other important league games including clashes against Liverpool and Tottenham.
