Real Madrid reportedly make a late bid for Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt, who has been strongly linked with a switch to either Barcelona or Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid have reportedly identified Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt as a potential summer signing.

A number of clubs - including Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain - have been linked with the centre-back since the turn of the year after the 19-year-old's impressive form for the Dutch giants.

PSG are allegedly the frontrunners to push through a deal in the coming days, but it now appears that the Ligue 1 champions could face competition from Real.

According to RMC Sport, Real have asked the youngster's representatives whether he would entertain a move to the Bernabeu if an official approach was made in the future.

The presence of Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Eder Militao, Nacho and Jesus Vallejo means that Zinedine Zidane is not short of options in the centre of the his backline.

However, the acquisition of De Ligt would likely mean that one of the latter two players would be sold before the end of the transfer window.
