Real Madrid have Chelsea fullback Reece James on their long-term shopping list.
Goal says Real chiefs are keen on the England international, though do not plan to move for the defender this summer.
Instead, Real will maintain a watching brief on James for season 2022/23 with the aim of bringing him to Spain at the end of next season.
Real are happy with their fullback options, though recognise Dani Carvajal will eventually have to be replaced.
James impressed the Real dressing room during their Champions League quarterfinal meeting earlier this month.
