REAL MADRID are reportedly weighing up a move for Julian Draxler.
The Germany international struggled to nail down a starting role at Paris Saint-Germain since his £30million arrival last January.

Real stuttered to a 2-1 win over Alaves and Zidane is thought to be keen to add depth to his attack.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio and Isco are the men vying for three attacking roles when fit.
But, with Real keen to defend their Liga and Champions League crowns, Zidane will need to rotate and Draxler’s versatility could appeal.
Draxler has been linked with a move away from PSG, with Arsenal and Liverpool both reportedly keen.
With Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani available to boss Unai Emery, he faces a fight to start in a three-man attack.

And he again started at the weekend, with Neymar ruled, although PSG laboured to a 0-0 draw at Montpellier.
The 37-cap star was one of few Germany players to impress at Euro 2016, before he secured a move last December.
