Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United are all involved in one big transfer saga.
Real Madrid are set to replace Raphael Varane in the summer transfer window with Jules Kounde if the France international moves to Manchester United in a £60m deal. Chelsea are also eyeing move for the Sevilla defender.
United have made Real Madrid star Varane a top transfer target going into the summer window.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate to land a world-class defender to partner alongside Harry Maguire and Varane has long been on the club's radar.
The Frenchman's contract expires in 2022 and has one eye on a new challenge next season while Madrid have priced the 27-year-old at £60m.
And Zinedine Zidane already has his sights set on a replacement, with Sevilla star Kounde top of the wish list, according to Marca.
That would be a major blow to Chelsea, who have also made the 22-year-old one of their main targets going into the summer transfer window.
Thomas Tuchel is keen on bolstering his squad and a defender had already been earmarked prior to his arrival.
After switching to a three-at-the-back system, that has only amplified the need for another centre-back.
Kounde has had a fantastic season with Sevilla and has been one of the standout stars in La Liga.
It has led to a lot of interest in the Frenchman, who would cost £68m, which is what his release clause is worth.
That has put several clubs off pursuing any further, including Manchester City - who moved for Ruben Dias last summer instead.
But Madrid have a history of pinching players off Sevilla - including club captain and legend Sergio Ramos.
Villarreal star Pau Torres is also on the shortlist at the Bernabeu, as well as at United.
