Barcelona are keeping close tabs on Marco Asensio's situation at Real Madrid.
The Spain winger is inside the final year of his Real contract and yet to open talks about a new deal.
Asensio has found himself being played as a super-sub by coach Carlo Ancelotti this season, much to his frustration.
Mundo Deportivo says among European rivals watching developments are Barca.
The Catalans see Asensio as a serious transfer target, thanks to his age (26), quality and tactical adaptability. Interestingly Asensio is now represented by Jorge Mendes, who is close to Barca president Joan Laporta.
