Real Madrid have launched a player swap bid for Borussia Dortmund striker Ousmane Dembele.

RAC-1 says Real are moving to trump Barcelona for the Frenchman.

Real are willing to offer players to Dortmund as part of a deal to bring Dembélé to the Bernabéu.

The Catalan radio station states that the player would favour a move to Barcelona, as well as revealing a request that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez made to his counter-part at Dortmund, Rainhard Reuball: “Before you sell him [Dembélé], tell me how much for".

The two club presidents enjoy a firm relationship.
