Real Madrid defender Pepe is expected to leave the club this summer and Los Blancos have identified a replacement for the Portuguese international.
Porto centre-back Felipe Monteiro is in line to replace Pepe at Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
According to Spanish newspaper AS, the Real Madrid hierarchy have already held discussions with Monteiro’s agent Giuliano Bertolucci and Los Blancos have reached a verbal agreement for the 27-year-old to move to Madrid for next season.
The La Liga leaders have suffered from the lack of defensive depth at times this season and it is clear that Zidane wants to strengthen his back four in the summer.
