VfB Stuttgart centre-back Finn Jeltsch is being monitored by Real Madrid, according to AS.
The La Liga club are not in urgent need of a centre-back right now, with Dean Huijsen, Ibrahima Konaté, Raúl Asencio, Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão all on their books.
However, the Spanish outlet reports that Real Madrid are keeping an eye on the centre-back market, with Rüdiger’s contract expiring at the end of the season and growing concerns over Militão’s durability due to his injury history.
20-year-old Jeltsch is reportedly among the players being considered by the La Liga giants, but they are far from the German defender’s only suitors, with Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Manchester United having previously been linked with him.
Jeltsch was recently handed his first senior Germany call-up by Jürgen Klopp, who included him in the second of two squads for the four UEFA Nations League games during the international break.
He could potentially make his Germany debut against Serbia on Thursday.
