Real Madrid have stepped up their interest in Chelsea target Jules Kounde after seeing the defender prove his versatility by playing at right-back for France against Spain.
Real were among several cubs chasing Kounde last summer but were put off by Sevilla's valuation of the centre-back.
Chelsea came closest to snapping up the defender and made a £43million offer for him before Sevilla demanded £56m to part ways with the player.
And according to fan site Defensa Central, Real are set to provide extra competition should Chelsea look to make another move for the 22-year-old next summer.
