Real Madrid are battling Arsenal and Liverpool to sign Brighton star Yves Bissouma, according to reports.
Earlier this month, talkSPORT revealed Arsenal and Liverpool are considering a January swoop for the 24-year-old.
Bissouma, who joined Brighton for £15million from Lille in 2018, has two-and-a-half years left on his contract.
Spanish outlet Defensa Central claim Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane sees the midfielder as a cheaper alternative to Paul Pogba and Eduardo Camavinga.
The report adds Bissouma could cost Los Blancos as much as £36.3million (€40m).
Brighton boss Graham Potter has admitted he is not worried about losing his star man.
He said: “I have never been a coach that worries about losing a player.
“If you worry about losing players to teams higher up the hierarchy – because that’s ultimately what it is – and the club think selling the player is the right thing to do, then it’s a result of doing something well.
“I don’t think you should ever worry about that. It’s part of football and a lot of it is talk, speculation or nonsense.
“There’s always truth as well somewhere, but I am not worried about anything.
“I am just helping the players to improve, to get them to the highest level of performance that I can and then we will see.”
