Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for Real Madrid.
Ferland Mendy's future at Bernabeu continues to be called into question, with the Frenchman potentially leaving the club ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
Eduardo Camavinga has often been used as a left-back this season, but Los Blancos boss head coach Carlo Ancelotti is said to be keen to move the Frenchman into his usual central midfield position next term.
According to the Daily Mail, Real Madrid have identified Robertson as a possible addition, with the Scotland international viewed as an alternative to Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies.
A recent report claimed that Davies had emerged as a genuine target for Los Blancos, but Bayern are not believed to be willing to entertain offers for the Canada international.

Real Madrid would allegedly be willing to offer in excess of £40m for Robertson, who has a contract at Anfield until the summer of 2026.
The left-back has again been a vital player for Liverpool during the 2022-23 campaign, featuring on 43 occasions in all competitions, contributing 11 assists in the process.
Since arriving from Hull City in July 2017, the defender has made 267 appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side, contributing eight goals and 63 assists in the process.
Robertson has won the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League during his time with Liverpool, in addition to the Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.

Liverpool are facing the prospect of missing out on Champions League football for next season, though, as they currently sit fifth in the Premier League table.
Manchester United would end Liverpool's chances of finishing in the top four if they manage to avoid defeat against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
Real Madrid will end this season with just the Copa del Rey title, having given up the La Liga title to Barcelona, while they lost to Manchester City in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Robertson has featured on 34 occasions in the Premier League this season, contributing eight assists in the process, while he provided two assists in five outings in the 2022-23 Champions League.
