Real Madrid 'weighing up summer move for Juan Foyth'

Real Madrid are reportedly considering a move for Villarreal defender Juan Foyth during this summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been a key player for the Yellow Submarine during the 2021-22 campaign, making 31 appearances in all competitions, including eight outings in the Champions League.

Foyth still has more than four years left to run on his contract with Unai Emery's side, but according to Fichajes, Real Madrid are interested in his signature in the upcoming market.

The report claims that Los Blancos want a new right-sided defender to boost their squad this summer, and the Argentina international has been identified as the ideal acquisition.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is allegedly 'following Foyth closely', with the South American potentially available for a fee in the region of €20m (£16.6m).

The defender represented Tottenham Hotspur between 2017 and 2021 but largely struggled to make his mark for the English outfit, moving to Villarreal on loan before ultimately completing a permanent deal.
