Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has emerged as a £35 million target for Real Madrid.
The 29-year-old is regarded a key figure in the revival at White Hart Lane inspired by manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The skipper has a contract at Spurs for the next three years and has established himself as the automatic first choice since his £10 million move from Lyon in 2012.
Lloris is useful at White Hart Lane, especially to coach Pochettino , and the Spurs want him to extend the deal that still has three years to run.
Lloris has talked to chairman Daniel Levy about a new contract and those talks will continue after the European Championships.
