According to the online outlet Relevo Deportes, the Spanish giants are tracking Cameroonian sensation Karl Etta Eyong, who made a name for himself last season with Villarreal's reserve team before joining the senior squad.

Before turning their attention to the Douala native, Real Madrid had inquired about another Cameroonian forward, Christian Kofane, who is expected to sign with Bayer Leverkusen.
