Real Madrid could reportedly battle Manchester United and Liverpool for the signature of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma during the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old's form this season is believed to have attracted the attention of Liverpool, with the Reds thought to be considering launching a bid at the start of 2021.
United have also been credited with an interest in the Mali international, but according to Defensa Central, the midfielder's recent performances have drawn admiring glances from the Spanish capital.
The report claims that Zinedine Zidane's side have identified Bissouma as a cheaper alternative to the likes of Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Rennes youngster Eduardo Camavinga.
The former Lille midfielder, who has a contract at the Amex until the summer of 2023, is thought to be valued by Brighton in the region of £30m.
Bissouma has contributed one goal in 12 Premier League appearances for Graham Potter's side this term.
Barcelona presidential candidate makes Arsenal's Hector Bellerin top target?

Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta has reportedly identified Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin as his top transfer target should he assume office in Catalonia.
Bellerin came through the youth ranks at Barcelona before moving to North London in 2011, where he has quickly become the Gunners' first-choice right-back.
However, the 25-year-old has not been immune from criticism this season and returned from a suspension in time to face Everton in the Premier League, but Mikel Arteta opted to select Ainsley Maitland-Niles in that 2-1 defeat on Saturday evening.
Now, The Mirror reports that Laporta - supposedly the frontrunner to become Barcelona's new president - has earmarked Bellerin as his priority target for the summer if he lands the Blaugrana job next month.
The report claims that contact has already been made with Bellerin's entourage, and an initial fee of £22m has been tabled for the Spain international.
Bellerin, who is under contract at the Emirates Stadium until 2023, was previously linked with a move to French champions Paris Saint-Germain over the summer.
The right-back has made 14 appearances in all competitions for Arteta's side this term, registering four assists in red and white.
