Real Madrid are tracking Bordeaux midfielder Yoann Goucuff.
The young France international is on-loan at Bordeaux from AC Milan and his form has caught the eye of Real and Bayern Munich.
L'Equipe says Real have made contact with Gourcuff's agent, Alain Miglaccio, who has made the midfielder aware of their interest.
Zinedine Zidane, who is acting as an advisor to Real presidential candidate Florentino Perez, could be the major influence on bringing Gourcuff to Madrid in the summer.
