Real Madrid have reportedly entered the race to sign coveted Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt.
The defender has been linked with several high-profile clubs, including Barcelona, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
As reported by RMC Sport, Real are also interested in signing de Ligt, and have requested information regarding his preference for his destination.
Real have already been very busy in the transfer market this summer, securing deals for Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy, as well as the previously announced deals for Eder Militao and Rodrygo.
With regards to centre-back options, Real can already call upon Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Nacho and Jesus Vallejo, as well as Militao.
However, Zinedine Zidane reportedly still wants to bring de Ligt to The Bernabeu, with the 19-year-old having produced some outstanding performances for Ajax.
De Ligt progressed through the ranks at Ajax's famed youth academy, and has since proceeded to make 117 senior appearances for the club.
Last season de Ligt was part of the Ajax team that won the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup, in addition to reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League.

I don't guess we need another defender. We have Ramos varane militao Vallejo and nacho and I guess that's enough depth.
