Real Madrid are ready to set up a complicated swap deal for Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic.
New Real coach Carlo Ancelotti has made it clear they're short of a box-to-box midfielder and Matic has been put forward as a potential signing.
A Bola says Real have registered their interest with Benfica and are putting together a swap package for consideration.
Along with a cash component, Real would be willing to include Fabio Coentrao and their 50 per cent of Ezequiel Garay's sell-on rights in their bid for Matic.
