Real Madrid are weighing up a late market move for Espanyol midfielder Marc Roca.
Mundo Deportivo says Real see Roca as an alternative midfield transfer target to Manchester United ace Paul Pogba.
Real are determined to sign a new midfielder before the market shuts and if United continue to price Pogba out of a move, they'll push for Roca.
Espanyol are desperate not to lose Roca, but the decision could be taken out of his hands.
The midfielder's deal carries a €40m buyout clause.
