Real Madrid and Barcelona have reportedly identified Bayern Munich youngster Joshua Zirkzee as a future transfer target.

While both clubs are already in the process of promoting younger players into the first team, there remains a desire to sign top prospects from other teams.

According to reports in Spain, Zirkzee is the latest player on their radar, with the 18-year-old having made the breakthrough into the senior ranks at Bayern.

In two brief substitute appearances in recent weeks, the 18-year-old has scored important goals in the Bundesliga against Freiburg and Wolfsburg respectively.

With a further outing coming from the bench against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League, there appears a desire for Bayern caretaker boss Hansi Flick to keep the teenager in his plans.

The Dutchman has three-and-a-half years left on his contract, leaving the two La Liga giants as outsiders to tempt Bayern into a sale.
