Report: Real Madrid want Ruben Neves

Real Madrid have reportedly emerged as the favourites to sign Porto midfielder Ruben Neves in next summer's transfer window.

The 18-year-old, who has also been linked with Chelsea, came through the youth system at Porto, before making his first-team debut in 2014.

The midfielder has since made more than 20 league appearances for the Portuguese outfit, with his form leading to a host of speculation surrounding his long-term future.

According to various reports in Spain, Real Madrid are closely monitoring the Portugal Under-21 international and will launch an offer next summer.

Neves is believed to have a £29m release clause in his current contract.
