Barcelona have been informed that Atletico Madrid full back Theo Hernandez wants to join Real Madrid.

On-loan at Alaves this season, Theo is a target for both giants, with Real and Barca prepared to meet his €24 million buyout clause.

AS says just this week, Theo's agent Manuel Garcia Quilon met with Barca officials to discuss the situation.

Barca are offering a six-year year deal worth €3.5 million-a-season, but was told by Quilon that Theo's priority remains Real.

Theo has verbally agreed terms with Real - though the door remains open to Barca if the two Madrid clubs cannot find an agreement.
