Real Madrid have joined Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign Sporting Lisbon star Bruno Fernandes, according to reports.
Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is looking to strengthen his midfield before the start of the new La Liga campaign and had been hoping to complete a big-money move for Paul Pogba.
However, the Spanish giants have been unable to reach a deal for the Red Devils midfielder, forcing the club to look at other options.
Although it has been reported that Real are close to reaching an agreement with Ajax for Donny van de Beek , Record claims that the club are preparing to make an approach for Fernandes.
According to the Portuguese publication, Madrid are working with agent Jorge Mendes to try and beat United and Tottenham to the 24-year-old's signature.
The Portugal international, who scored 20 goals and provided 13 assists in the league for Sporting last season, has been heavily linked with the Premier League duo in the last week, with both clubs looking to bolster their midfields.
