Real Madrid eyeing summer swoop for Arsenal target

Real Madrid are eyeing a summer move for Arsenal target Juan Camilo Zuniga after meeting Napoli officials to discuss a deal - and that could allow Tottenham to reignite their interest in Fabio Coentrao.

Napoli sought to end speculation surrounding the 27-year-old's future by tying him down to a new five-year contract earlier this season, but Real Madrid are keen to take him to the Spanish capital.

Spanish TV show Punto Pelota claim senior Real officials recently met with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, sporting director Riccardo Bigon and Zuniga's agent Riccardo Calleri to discuss a summer transfer.

The La Liga side are confident of selling long-standing Tottenham and Manchester United target Fabio Coentrao, with Fiorentina keen on a £12m deal for the Portugal international.

Real will then look to put those funds toward a £23.5m deal for Zuniga, with Carlo Ancelotti desperate to land a new left-back.

Zuniga, who has been capped 43 times by Colombia, has previously attracted strong interest from Arsenal and Barcelona.
