The Champions League resumes next week and while of course every team's primary goal is to qualify for the next round, Real Madrid's scouting staff will be preoccupied with something entirely different when they take on Napoli in the Round of 16.

According to multiple reports in Italian media, Real Madrid are interesting to sign Piotr Zielinski who has been having an outstanding season with Napoli in Serie A and the two-leg tie against the Italian side provides the Spanish powerhouse with a fantastic opportunity to evaluate him against their current midfield players.

The 22-year-old Polish international is an attacking midfielder who has featured in 22 matches in this season's Serie A, scoring twice.

In addition to Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea are believed to also be monitoring the Napoli player.
