Real Madrid expressed their desire to sign 19 year old English Wonderkid Jadon Sancho after reported talks with Manchester City over exchanging Gareth Bale with Raheem Sterling collapsed.
Los Blancos, who previously wanted to sign Sancho when he was leaving Manchester City, have begun doing their groundwork as they plot a fresh move for the 19-year-old next summer.
Sancho has established himself as one of Europe's promising young players since joining Borussia Dortmund from City in 2017.
Dortmund are now sure that this is Sancho's final season at Signal Iduna Park and have already begun their search for a potential replacement.
They are also keen to sell the player, who costs over£100m, with the highest price as a result of many potential candidates eyeing the player.
News that Real Madrid are exploring a deal for Sancho presents another potential obstacle to Manchester United in their attempts to lure the Londoner back to England.
They were already facing competition from French champions Paris Saint-Germain. The Old Trafford club's uncertain Champions League future is another potential handicap.
On the other hand, Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane defended Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez after both players left the Santiago Bernabeu before the end of Real Madrid’s La Liga draw with Real Betis.
The Madrid manager insisted that he does not hate Bale's playing style and would like to see the Welsh international continue till the end of the season with his team.
