Real Madrid have been putting their feelers out for a central defender with plans to enter the transfer markets in December.

Technical staff are concerned with the state of the team's defence, who have the worst record in La Primera having conceded 12 goals in the opening six games.

High on the agenda is Boca Juniors' Nicolas Burdisso, who at 20 years old, has already picked up a World Championship medal with Argentina's under-20s side.

Other players on the list included Cruzeiro's Luizao and AC Milan's Fabricio Coloccini, who is currently on loan with Alaves, although the Italians have made it clear that they have no intention of selling the 19-year-old.
