Real Madrid are weighing up a shock swoop for QPR star Adel Taarabt.
Marca says Real scouts have delivered glowing reports on the former Tottenham reject to sports director Jorge Valdano.
Taarabt has inspired QPR this season to within touching distance of promotion to the Premier League.
Real are seeking to overhaul their midfield options in the summer - but on a budget - and believe they can land Taarabt for less than £10 million.
Pedro Leon, Sergio Canales, Fernando Gago, Esteban Granero and Lassana Diarra are all under the gun.
