Real Madrid are reportedly keen to edge out Liverpool and Barcelona in the race to sign Lille youngster Boubakary Soumare during this summer’s transfer window.
The 21-year-old midfielder, who was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in January, has made 30 appearances for Les Dogues during the 2019-20 campaign.
Both Liverpool and Barcelona are allegedly considering up moves for the midfielder this summer.
However, according to reports in Spain, Real Madrid are also in the race for the France Under-21 international, who could be available somewhere in the region of £25m.
Soumare has a deal at Lille until the summer of 2022.
