Real Madrid are preparing a bid for Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan this summer, according to reports.
The Belgian playmaker has been heavily linked with a transfer away from La Giallorossi in the last few months, with the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool reportedly keen.
However, Madrid are set to make the first move according to Corriere dello Sport, who claim that new Madrid boss Rafa Benitez watched Nainggolan play for Belgium against Wales on Friday.
Madrid could be on the look out for a replacement for Sami Khedira, who will join Juventus on a free transfer.
Nainggolan scored five times last season.
