Spanish giants Real Madrid have been monitoring English-born Ghanaian defender Josh Acheampong.
The talented Chelsea defender will see his contract elapse in the summer of 2026.
Acheampong has yet to agree contract renewal with the Blues as he nears the expiration of his contract.
However, Real Madrid are said to be keeping tabs of the enterprising defender as they seek to strengthen their squad.
The record Champions League holders are hoping of securing the services of Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Report emerging suggests Real Madrid will turn attention to Acheampong should a move for Arnold fell through.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are said to be close to agreeing terms with Ghanaian defender Josh Acheampong over contract extension.
He was in action on Thursday when Chelsea travelled to beat FC Astana in the UEFA Europa League.
