According to 'Bild', Julian Draxler is moving closer and closer to the exit door at PSG and Real Madrid are the latest team to be linked with a move for the German World Cup winner.

Despite the summer transfer market closing nearly a month ago, transfer speculation regarding the future of Draxler has refused to die down.

Zinedine Zidane's side, meanwhile, are already targeting players to bolster their squad in the January transfer window and have now turned their attention to the PSG outcast.

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe's arrivals in Paris have pushed Draxler down the pecking order in Paris, and he is now reportedly ready to leave the club he joined in January.

According to the German publication and 'The Daily Star', 'Los Blancos' are now in pole position to land the 24-year-old, but a host of European giants, including Premier League clubs Arsenal and Liverpool, remain interested in securing the 24-year-old’s services.

With the 2018 World Cup in Russia just around the corner, Draxler is looking to get more game time under his belt to secure a place in Joachim Low’s squad.

Therefore, a January move is likely, but would the midfield talent get the minutes he is hoping for at the Bernabeu?
