Should a key midfielder depart, Real Madrid are ready to target the French international.
Real Madrid continue to keep a watchful eye on the transfer market, remaining on high alert over potential bids for stars such as Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni.
Should either player depart, Spanish outlet ‘AS’ reports that Roma and France midfielder Manu Kone has emerged as a primary alternative.
The Frenchman has long featured on Los Blancos’ radar. Chief scout Juni Calafat has tracked him for years, with Kone taking another major stride forward over the past season thanks to his standout displays in Italy and for the national side.
