According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid intends to send a scout to observe Newcastle United's defender Lewis Hall during a Champions League match against Barcelona. Real Madrid's interest may be linked to a potential need for a new left-back, as Bild reported the club's president plans to sell Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia. Newcastle reportedly wants a fee of up to £70 million for Hall, who has also been linked with Manchester United, Liverpool, and Borussia Dortmund.
