Derby County boss Steve McClaren has reportedly moved for Real Madrid midfielder Omar Mascarell.
The Rams have suffered a major injury blow during pre-season after new signing George Thorne was ruled out for nine months with a serious knee injury, but it appears as though the Championship side are moving fast to secure a replacement.
According to BBC Radio Derby, the East Midlands outfit are in advanced talks to sign Mascarell on a season-long loan deal.
The 21-year-old, who has progressed through the academy at the Bernabeu, made his first-team debut at the end of the last campaign.
