Real Madrid, Barcelona battling for Chile U20 starlet Bryan Paul Carrasco

Real Madrid and Barcelona are eyeing Chile U20 fullback Bryan Paul Carrasco.

Dubbed 'the little Maicon', Carrasco is tied to Audax Italiano in Chile and is already a firsts team regular.

Cadena Ser says both Real and Barca are keen to take a closer look at Carrasco later this year.

The youngster is expected to be invited to Spain for trials after impressing scouts at this month's U20 South American championships.
