JUVENTUS have made contact with Marco Asensio over a blockbuster summer move, according to reports.
The Serie A giants are said to be willing to pounce for the 23-year-old forward and give him the opportunity to have regular first-team football.
Asensio has scored just once in 20 league matches for Real this season - and been told to do better by his nan.
He was on the bench for Saturday's El Clasico defeat - the 17th time he has started a match warming a seat.
Tuttosport say Juve - who bought Cristiano Ronaldo off Real last summer - have contacted the Bernabeu side over a move.
And they are thought to be in pole position to land the Spaniard ahead of rivals Inter Milan.
Asensio seemed to have a future in Madrid under Zinedine Zidane.
But since the Frenchman left he has found first-time chances hard to come by under the doomed Julen Lopetegui and current boss Santiago Solari.
A figure for Asensio - who has a contract until 2023 - has not been talked of.
But the highly promising youngster is thought to be worth in the region of £80million.
