The leaders of Granada and Real Madrid are due to meet on Monday for a traditional pre-match boardroom luncheon. But this time, above and beyond the usual protocol, there will be an important issue on the table: the possible transfer of Siqueira. It will be D-Day for the future of the Brazilian left-back.

With just one week to go before the summer transfer window closes, Siqueira's options for leaving Granada seem to boil down to the Santiago Bernabéu. The Whites' are definitely interested, but there are some matters still to be negotiated – the player's salary and the loan of Denis Cheryshev.

Real Madrid wants to include the youth squad player in the deal but Granada prefers to treat the two matters separately. The camaraderie between Florentino Pérez and Quique Pina will no doubt play a decisive role in the outcome.

Siqueira's arrival at the Bernabéu may mark the end of the additions to the squad this season. His is a much needed signing since it seems certain Fabio Coentrao will move on. Given the situation, Carlo Ancelotti does not want Marcelo to be the only leftback on the team.

Granada has already rejected an offer of £4 million for the Brazilian from Liverpool. The player has not been lined up by Granada coach Lucas Alcaraz for today's match.
