Real Madrid, Spurs in Benfica contact for Jair Tavares

Some of Europe's biggest clubs are following Benfica teen Jair Tavares.

The 16 year-old, reports O Jogo, has Real Madrid, Tottenham, PSG and Juventus all asking for more information about his situation.

The midfielder is the cousin of Renato Sanches, who is currently on-loan at Swansea City from Bayern Munich.

Pressure from Juve last year saw Benfica upgrade Tavares' contract to 2020 with a buyout clause set at €30m.

Tavares is a Portugal U17 international and is currently taking part in the Al Kass tournament in Qatar.
