Matteo Darmian TorinoTorino wingback Matteo Darmian has attracted the interest of Real Madrid after his excellent performance in the Granata’s elimination of Athletic Club in the Europa League Round of 32.

The 25-year-old Italian international is successfully building on last season’s performances, which guaranteed him a place in Cesare Prandelli’s World Cup squad, where he started in all three Azzurri games.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma and Napoli have been joined by Real Madrid in the race for the player.

The AC Milan youth product has impressed especially in the Europa League, netting two goals and assisting another three, contributing both offensively and defensively to the Granata’s game.

Interestingly, it was current Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti who gave Darmian his Serie A debut for the Rossoneri eight years ago against Udinese.
