Real Madrid have spread their scouting network far and wide in recent years, signing wonderkids from all over the globe, in hopes of turning them into superstars at Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid have continued to look out for the best youngsters in the game though. Claudio Echeverri certainly falls under that category. But it is not just the Spanish giants who are looking to sign him.
As reported by SPORT, Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester City have Echeverri on their radar. But FC Barcelona would have an advantage if it enters the transfer race as it is believed that the Argentine dreams of playing for them.
