Elsewhere, the report claims that Bayern Munich is strongly interested in the Spanish midfielder and is currently the favorites for his signature. However, the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and two other unnamed Premier League clubs are also in the race to sign the Los Blancos star.
Moreover, the Blues are reportedly willing to offer him a better salary, since he would be a free agent by the end of the season.
