Real Madrid are tracking Bayern Munich fullback David Alaba.
The young Austrian is rated among the best young wing-backs in Europe.
Real are being linked with a move for Alaba as doubts emerge over the future of Marcelo.
The Br azilian has confessed an ambition to play in Italy with Juventus, which has sparked talk of a switch to Turin in 2015.
Alaba, meanwhile, is a mainstay of coach Pep Guardiola's Bayern team and it will prove difficult for Real to prise him from their great European rivals.
