Real Madrid Transfer News: Latest on Marquinhos, Martin Benitez, Top Rumours

Real Madrid's bid to sign Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian centre-back Marquinhos this summer will reportedly face competition from Premier League side Chelsea.

Los Blancos know of Chelsea's interest in the 21-year-old, but they will still press ahead to try to seal a deal in the summer, according to Spanish source Marca (h/t Vaishali Bhardwaj of the London Evening Standard).

Madrid are currently operating under the looming threat of a FIFA-imposed transfer ban. The ban has been suspended pending an appeal, per a Press Association report (h/t the Guardian), giving the club time to set possible targets.
