Real Madrid are eyeing Bayer Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey.

Bailey has been in sparkling form for the Bundesliga side this season and chipped in nine goals and six assists as Die Werkself qualified for the Europa League while adding three goals in his side's run to the DFB-Pokal semi-finals.

ESPN says Real are considering Bailey as a replacement for Gareth Bale.

However, the stumbling block is in the fee Levekusen will hope to extract for their prized asset; the Bundesliga club are believed to be holding out for somewhere in the region of €100 million for the youngster.
