Real Eyeing Mario Gotze

A report in Marca claims that Real Madrid are apparently keeping an eye on Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Mario Gotze.

At the tender age of 19, Gotze has made quite a name for himself and has become one of the most sought after players in Europe after helping Dortmund win the Bundesliga title last season.

Bayern Munich and Arsenal are also interested, with the latter making an unsuccessful attempt to sign Gotze in a deadline day transfer.

If a deal can be struck, Gotze would become the latest player to swap the Bundesliga for the Bernabeu, following Mesit Ozil, Nuri Sahin, Sami Khedira and Hamit Altintop.

Gotze's current contract runs till 2014.
