Real Madrid interested in signing Spurs full-back, Aurier

Real Madrid wants to sign Tottenham Hotspurs full-back, Serge Aurier this summer.

French source Foot Mercato via ESPN report reveals that, Aurier is aware of the transfer rumours and has spoken with Raphael Varane about a move to Madrid.

Aurier and Varane are friends from their time together at Lens. Aurier left for Toulouse in 2012.

They spent a year together at the French side and could be reunited next season.

Any transfer will depend on the new Spurs boss and their willingness to keep Aurier. Should they prefer Matt Doherty in his position, then the Ivorian will be sold to raise transfer funds.

Serge was signed from Paris Saint-Germain for a £22.5million fee in August 2017. However, he has failed to hold down a first-team place this term and has struggled with numerous injuries.

Interim boss Ryan Mason, who took charge following the Sack of Jose Mourinho has placed his trust in the 28-year-old. Aurier has featured in the last three Premier League games and chipped in with two assists as Spurs beat Sheffield United 4-0. 

If rumours are true and to are to be believed then Real Madrid will face competition from PSG for the full-back. With Mauricio Pochettino now in charge of the French giants, he has a keen interest in bringing a reunion with the duo.

The player’s contract includes a €10million ‘exit pass’, which allows him to leave north London if such a bid is submitted. 

Aurier could be joined by team-mate Harry Kane in leaving Hotspurs this summer. The England skipper is wanted by Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid. He may also pursue a transfer in order to win major honours before reaching the twilight years of his career.
