Real Madrid have reportedly emerged as the clear favourites to sign Bayern Munich defender David Alaba.

Despite remaining as a key player at the Allianz Arena, the Austria international has less than six months remaining on his contract.

The versatile 28-year-old is now in a position where he can hold discussions with any foreign clubs who are interested in his signature.

However, Marca claims that Real are now regarded as the frontrunners after offering Alaba a contract until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane is said to have given his blessing to a deal being negotiated with the player.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona have also been linked with the long-serving Bayern man.

Real Madrid are reportedly hoping to strike a deal for Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min.

The South Korea international has formed an effective partnership with Harry Kane this season and already boasts 14 goals and seven assists in all competitions for Jose Mourinho's side.

Spurs are reportedly hoping to tie Son down to a new contract as a matter or urgency, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

However, Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur claims that Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has taken a liking to Son and is keen to bring the attacker to the Bernabeu in the summer.

Konur adds that the La Liga champions will soon touch base with Tottenham representatives over the possibility of a deal, although Mourinho has expressed optimism over keeping Son on the books in North London.

The 28-year-old has scored 99 goals and set up 54 more for Spurs since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2015.
