Real Madrid join Rabbi Matondo race?

Real Madrid have reportedly joined the race to sign Schalke 04 teenager Rabbi Matondo.

The former Manchester City youngster has supposedly emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United and Liverpool following a breakthrough season in the Bundesliga.

The Wales international recently insisted that he remains focused on completing the season with Schalke, but the rumours circulating around the 19-year-old's future continue to gather pace.

Diario Sport claims that Madrid are keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Matondo, with Zinedine Zidane supposedly prioritising the signings of up-and-coming players ahead of the summer transfer window.

Matondo has appeared in both of Schalke's fixtures since the Bundesliga's resumption, playing 77 minutes of his side's 3-0 home defeat to Augsburg on Sunday.
