Igor Liziero: The young midfielder on Real Madrid's and Barcelona's radar Real Madrid Plays at Sao Paulo

Real Madrid and Barcelona are among the potential suitors eyeing Sao Paulo midfielder Igor Liziero.

Several elite European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Roma and Juventus, are also interested in acquiring the 21-year-old's services.

According to reports in Italy, Barcelona's technical secretary, Eric Abidal, has recently travelled to Brazil to see Liziero in person.

In the last few hours, however, Lizeiro's name has also been linked with Real Madrid, who consider him as the perfect cover and long-term replacement for Casemiro.

The youngster's contract with Sao Paulo draws to a close in 2023 and the Brazilian side are not ready to let him leave, unless they receive an adequate offer.

Lizeiro, who possesses an Italian passport, has featured in 16 games so far this season and has provided one assist.
