Real Madrid news: Man Utd trio wanted, Barcelona plans known, Ronaldo hears Neymar secret

Real Madrid want to sign three Manchester United players, according to reports in Spain.

Los Blancos look set to miss out on the La Liga title with fierce rivals Barcelona already eight points clear at the summit.

And Spanish website Diario Gol says Real want three United players in order to turn their fortunes around. 

Express Sport understands they have serious interest in Juan Mata, whose contract is up at the end of the current season.

And they are also ready to pounce for Ander Herrera and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with both players facing uncertain futures at Old Trafford.

Real Madrid think they know Barcelona's plans for Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho.

Spanish website Don Balon claims Los Blancos think they will go for the Brazilian again in January, despite failing with three bids in the summer.

But, should they not, Real think they will try to sign Lyon hotshot Nabil Fekir.

Fekir has scored 12 goals from 15 appearances so far, helping Lyon to third in the Ligue 1 table, just behind Paris Saint-Germain and Monco.

And Real are supposedly ready to beat Barcelona to the punch by trying to land the 24-year-old in January.

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been told huge news about PSG forward Neymar.

Diario Gol say the Portugal international has received information about the Brazilian via Marcelo.

Neymar is supposedly unhappy at the Parc des Princes following his £200m move from Barcelona.

He is consequently taking his eye off the ball, training with less intensity than before.

And Ronaldo is now aware that, with Neymar unhappy, Real could try to snap him up.
