Real Madrid will assess two Girona stars during the La Liga clash ahead of possible summer moves

Carlo Ancelotti and his Real Madrid players will be fully focused on securing victory over Girona in Saturday's La Liga clash at the Santiago Bernabeu. A win for the hosts would provide a major boost in the title race, with the Catalan side being their closest challengers at this stage.

While the first team will be fully focused on the task at hand, the Real Madrid hierarchy will use the match as an opportunity to run the rule over two potential summer signings. Ace for BrandMiguel Gutierrez and Yan Couto will be watched during the match, with both players likely to be on the Blancos roster.

Real Madrid intends to sign a new left defender this summer, with Ferland Mendy is transferred as a result. Alphonso Davies is their main target, but if they miss out, Gutierrez would be well placed as an alternative.

With Dani Carvajal aging, and Lucas Vazquez out of contract in the summer, Real Madrid may still opt for a right-back signing, and Couto is likely an option. The 21-year-old is a Los Blancos supporter, although negotiations with Manchester City in the summer could be very difficult.

It's no surprise that Real Madrid look at Gutierrez and Couto, as they have shown themselves this season to be excellent players. It remains to be seen whether he will end up in the Spanish capital at the end of the summer.
