Real Madrid are reportedly set to rival Barcelona for River Plate's 20-year-old midfielder Exequiel Palacios.
According to Sport, the two La Liga rivals are following the Argentinian, but they could both miss out to Inter Milan, who are "in pole position" to land the midfielder.
River Plate President Rodolfo D'Onofrio told Fox Sports (h/t Sport), he is well aware there is interest in his club's young star.
"I will unplug the phones, I will do anything to make sure Palacios doesn't go. He's very young," he said.
