Real Madrid have thrown themselves into the race against bitter rivals Barcelona to sign Manchester City centre back Eric Garcia as they look for potential replacements for Sergio Ramos.
Garcia is on Madrid's wishlist alongside Villarreal's Pau Torres, another youngster who has impressed during his time in LaLiga. The plans come as Madrid prepare for the prospect of Ramos not signing a contract extension next year.
Ramos's contract ends on June 30 and he is at loggerheads with the Madrid management over his wage and contract length demands, according to Diario Sport.
