Reports in Argentina on Monday stated that Real Madrid were following Tagliafico as they seek a replacement for Marcelo.
Speaking to Rivadavia, Tagliafico’s agent Ricardo Schlieper said there is no concrete interest yet but did confirm he is being followed by a “Big Spanish Club.”
He said, “It’s said that Tagliafico’s name has been included on Real Madrid’s shortlist because Marcelo will join Juventus.
“However, no-one’s called me yet, even if there have been enquiries from other teams. He has two years left on his contract and he has no release clause, but Ajax have set a minimum price for the top European clubs.
“Which teams are they? All I can say is that among them, there’s a big Spanish club. That said, I think it’s the right time for Tagliafico to step up a level.”
The 26-year-old Argentinian international joined Ajax last year from Independiente and has so far made 44 appearances for the club.
