Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin is reportedly a target for Real Madrid, and the Gunners are said to be willing to cash in for the right price. Elsewhere, Watford's Abdoulaye Doucoure has confirmed the north London club's interest in his services.
Bellerin has long been associated with a move back to former club Barcelona, but Spanish website Diario Gol said new Blaugrana signing Philippe Coutinho informed Lionel Messi that Real are eyeing the defender (h/t Alex Harris of the Daily Express).
According to the report, former Liverpool star Coutinho told team-mate Messi he believes Los Blancos "are in negotiations" to sign Bellerin after incumbent right-back Dani Carvajal has struggled slightly to regain his superlative form of last season.
