Real Madrid 'register Leon Bailey interest'

Real Madrid have reportedly joined the race for Bayer Leverkusen attacker Leon Bailey.

The Jamaican joined Leverkusen from Genk in January 2017 having previously been linked with both Manchester United and Chelsea, and his contract with the Bundesliga club runs until the summer of 2022.

Manchester City and Bayern Munich have both been credited with an interest in the 20-year-old over the last few weeks, and according to ESPN FC, Los Blancos are also in the hunt.

Bailey scored 12 times and registered six assists in 34 appearances for Leverkusen during the 2017-18 campaign.

Madrid's reported interest is believed to depend on whether Gareth Bale, who has scored 19 times in 38 appearances this term, leaves the Bernabeu in this summer's transfer window.
