Liverpool centre-back Joe Gomez has reportedly emerged as a surprise transfer target for Real Madrid.
According to Diario Gol (h/t James Walters of the Daily Star) Los Blancos are seeking to restructure their defensive setup and are admirers of the youngster. The future of veteran defender Pepe is in doubt at the Santiago Bernabeu, with his contract set to expire at the end of the campaign.
Gomez, just 19, has struggled for regular minutes this season, having recovered from a substantial injury layoff.
