Real Madrid are looking to beat Chelsea and Juventus to the signing of Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni next year.
According to Marca, the Spanish giants have identified the 21-year-old France international as a key target for next summer's window after Kylian Mbappe as their transfer plans for 2022 already begin to take shape.
Tchouameni has enjoyed a flying start to the season and has filled in for N'Golo Kante with France, partnering Paul Pogba in midfield as his country won the Nations League for the first time at the weekend.
