Real Madrid Transfer Rumours: 8 Most Surprising Names Linked to Mourinho's Team

We've all read about Real Madrid's interest in Neymar.

And Carlos Tevez.

And Eden Hazard.

But what about some deals that are flying under the radar?

Here are eight that you might not have heard about. At least, you might not have heard about them 100 times a day for the past few months.

We hope you enjoy.

Jack Wilshere, Arsenal

After the departures of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri last summer, it's hard to believe Arsene Wenger would let another young gun like Jack Wilshere leave the Emirates.

But that's exactly what some reports have suggested.

Rafinha Alcantara, Barcelona

Goal.com is reporting that Barcelona's Thiago Alcantara hopes his little brother might be heading to Real Madrid.

Uh oh.

The younger Alcantara, Rafinha, is an 18-year-old who plays in Barca's youth system. The Goal.com article says Real Mardid tried to sign Thiago in the summer.

Yann M'Vila, Rennes

Yann M'Vila is a 21-year-old French international defensive midfielder who plays for Rennes in France's Ligue 1.

Arsenal have chased him for some time, but the latest news is that M'Vila will choose between Arsenal and Real Madrid next summer.

M'Vila has already appeared 17 times for France, scoring one goal.

Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United

It's hard to imagine Nemanja Vidic wearing a jersey other than Manchester United's.

But the Serbian central defender is being linked with a shock move to Real Madrid.

Even more shocking to us is that the deal would reportedly cost Real Madrid only £10 million. Vidic is worth more than that.

Nigel De Jong, Manchester City

This one seems a little far-fetched, but here it goes.

Nigel De Jong is being linked with a move from Manchester City to Real Madrid.

Make of that what you will.

David Silva, Manchester City

This one is even less likely.

A few weeks ago, a reports linked Real Madrid and Barcelona with attempted moves to sign David Silva from Manchester City.

It wasn't a new rumor, and Silva has said he'd like to stay at City.

Andy Polo, Universitario De Deportes

Believe it or not, Andy Polo is not an American yacht owner. He's a South-American footballer.

And he's being linked with a move to the Bernabeu.

The 17-year-old Peruvian striker was once linked with Arsenal, but reports now say he's headed to Real Madrid.

Mehdi Benatia, Udinese

Mehdi Benatia is a 24-year-old Moroccan international defender who plays for Udinese in Serie A.

He has attracted interest from a number of clubs including Real Madrid.

Madrid will reportedly compete for his signature with Chelsea, AC Milan, Manchester United and Juventus.
