Real Madrid are set to raid Barcelona for exciting youngster Marc Bartra.
El Confidencial says Real academy chief Ramon Martinez has made a move for the 18 year-old defender, whose Barca deal does not expire until 2011.
Bartra has so far resisted offers from Barca to open talks over a new contract.
The Spain youth international will be offered a place at Real Madrid - if Barca are prepared to give him a free transfer.
