Real Madrid and Barcelona are reportedly preparing to battle one another for the signature of Borussia Dortmund left-back Raphael Guerreiro.

Real Madrid and Barcelona could reportedly rival one another for the signature of Borussia Dortmund left-back Raphael Guerreiro.

La Blaugrana are expected to be in the market for a Jordi Alba successor this summer but have supposedly been frustrated in their pursuit of Valencia's Jose Gaya.

As a result, Barca could turn their attention to Ajax'x Nicolas Tagliafico or Benfica's Alex Grimaldo, but according to Defensa Central, Real Madrid are also in the race for Guerreiro.

The La Liga table-toppers have supposedly identified the 28-year-old as an ideal replacement for Marcelo, and an offer of €30m (£25m) could tempt Dortmund into selling.

The Black and Yellow cannot realistically demand an excessive figure for Guerreiro, whose contract expires in 2023, so Real may look to negotiate a lower price in the summer.

However, the report adds that Los Blancos already have the upper hand in the race for the left-back, as Barca's volatile economic situation means that a £25m price tag could be too steep.

Guerreiro has banked five goals and three assists in 20 appearances for Dortmund this season but has only started 13 Bundesliga matches due to injury.
