Chelsea and Real Madrid are in a race to sign Pedro Lima from Sport Recife this summer.
Reports claim that Chelsea and Real Madrid are currently battling to sign Pedro Lima from Sport Recife this summer. Chelsea are said to be interested in signing the full back who has already been called up for the Brazil national team at youth level. However, Real Madrid see him as a potential long term replacement for Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez who are both 32 years of age.
Chelsea are currently the favourites to sign full back Pedro Lima. The player is valued at around £6 million but it remains to be seen whether the price will be increased due to the interest from both clubs. Pedro Lima's contract with Sport Recife runs until 2027. He is 17 years of age but has already made 25 senior appearances for Sport Recife.
Chelsea and Real Madrid look set to go head to head for Pedro Lima's signature. It may ultimately come down to the youngster's preference.
REAL MADRID INTERESTED IN BAYER LEVERKUSEN STAR FLORIAN WIRTZ
It has been reported that Real Madrid have made a deal which could see Florian Wirtz remain at Bayer Leverkusen for one more season before Real Madrid make a move for him in the summer.
It has been reported that the player has already agreed personal terms with the club.
Real Madrid are still looking to add the best talents around the world to their squad even after the signing of Kylian Mbappe was confirmed last week. The club continue to plan for the future by looking to tie up a deal for one of Germany's best young players. Florian Wirtz has also been linked with a move to Bayern Munich in recent weeks.
With Kylian Mbappe and Endrick set to join Real Madrid this summer, questions are starting to emerge on where Florian Wirtz would be put in Real Madrid's starting line up.
The most likely scenario would see Jude Bellingham moved back into a number eight position, allowing Florian Wirtz to play behind the main striker.
With the move set to be completed next summer, this gives Florian Wirtz an opportunity to run it back with Bayer Leverkusen, who enjoyed a historically unbeaten domestic season on their way to a league and cup double.
