Real Madrid have reportedly identified Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella as a potential summer transfer target.
While Real Madrid have enjoyed a strong season due to their lead in La Liga and having reached the Champions League quarter-finals, there is a desire behind the scenes to freshen up the first-team squad.
That will occur in the summer with several big-earners being out of contract, but it appears that a voluntary transition may also take place in the middle of the pitch.
According to El Nacional, Los Blancos may be willing to consider offers for Toni Kroos, who turned 32 years of age in January and has only started 20 of Real's 29 league games this season.
The report claims that manager Carlo Ancelotti is an admirer of Italian compatriot Barella, a player who won the Serie A title and Euro 2020 last year.
Real are allegedly prepared to make an offer of €80m (£67.29m) for the 25-year-old, whose contract at San Siro does not expire until 2026.
