Real Madrid want option on Fiorentina's Ujfalusi

Real Madrid have made an enquiry after Fiorentina defender Tomas Ujfalusi.

The Czech Republic international's availability came up during talks between the clubs over a loan extension for striker Javier Portillo in Florence.

Real are happy to allow Portillo to stay in Italy, despite his struggles for first team action, but want first refusal for Ujfalusi in exchange.

Manchester United have also made tentative enquiries after Ujfalusi in recent days and Fiorentina president Andrea Della Valle is unlikely to agree to giving either club first option on the talented centre-half.
