Mateo Kovacic has been identified by Manchester United as a potential replacement for Michael Carrick.
The Croatian midfield maestro has been unable to gain a regular run of games at the Bernabeu behind Casemiro, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
But Le 10 Sport believe Jose Mourinho will offer the 23-year-old a starring role at Old Trafford.
With Michael Carrick now set to retire, the Red Devils need to sign a passing midfielder and Kovacic could be just the man.
Mourinho sees Kovacic as the best man to replace the 36 year old given that he is a player with can come out with good passes as well as providing cover for the back four. Man United are not running out of options at the midfield but such a reinforcement would be more than welcome.
The Portuguese has strong players in Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba all of who can play in the holding midfield area. However, squad depth may also be an issue owing to the number of competitions that they are involved in.
The Croatian midfielder signed for Real Madrid from Inter Milan and has played second fiddle to a contingent of players at the Bernabeau. He has been reduced into a squad player who comes from the bench and that may only aggravate his desire to leave the European champions.
