The Spanish champions are keeping tabs on the LOSC Lille full-back, who is keen to leave the Ligue 1 outfit before the end of the transfer window
The France international has been linked with a move away from Grand Stade Lille Métropole this season with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain keeping a close eye on the defender.
Real Madrid are the latest side to show an interest in the 27-year-old. Los Blancos have upped their search for a new right-back, as the bosses at the club are not pleased with their current full-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Arbeloa-c5282.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 moving to the centre of the defence, the reigning champions are in dire need of an experienced right-back. And coach, Jose Mourinho, has identified Debuchy as the player who can fit in easily in his team.
After securing the signature of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week, the club coach has hinted that there could be few more arrivals at Santiago Bernabeu before the end of the transfer window.
"Modric's arrival does not mean the door is closed. Not for arrivals or departures. It is open for everything,” the Portuguese tactician told reporters.
Real Madrid are now set to rival English Premier League side, Newcastle United, for Debuchy’s signature.
According to reports, the La Liga outfit is prepared to pay amount in the region of 9 million Pounds for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international, 3 million more than what the Magpies offered.
And with Lille’s hopes of qualifying to the group stages of the Champions League hanging by a thread, a failure to reach the next stage could force the club to get their high earners off the wage bill, in order to balance the books.
However, Les Dogues’ chairman, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-c25453 Seydoux, is not interested in selling the 27-year-old in any circumstances.
"If we fail to qualify for the Champions League would I be forced to accept a proposal for Mathieu? You know that I am not very flexible when it comes to business," the club chairman told l'Equipe.
Mathieu Debuchy’s future is expected to be settled out in next couple of days, but it remains to be seen if the Frenchman moves to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
