Merengues want MLS star
Real Madrid have reportedly approached New York Red Bulls star Jozy Altidore.
Major League Soccer star Altidore is part of Los Merengues' plans, as domestic newspaper AS has announced that the Primera Liga champions are planning to launch a bid for the youngster.
The 18-year-old, born in Florida from Haitian parents, has impressed in the Northern American league and the USA Under-20 international could head to Spain in the near future.
The attacker scored nine goals in 22 games in his second season in the top flight and impressed national coach Bob Bradley, who called him up for USA's friendly game in South Africa.
Real Madrid scout Carlos Bucero made the trip to watch the MLS Playoffs. The Spanish club seem to have changed their transfer policy and plan to sign young players and then develop them rather than continuing to add stars to their squad in expensive transfers.
