The 20-year-old's agent, Rene, is the brother of Sergio Ramos and during negotiations over the Madrid defender's new contact, Capel's name was put on the table after his lowly buy-out clause was revealed.
Barcelona are also said to be very interested in the new starlet of the Sevilla team, but AS are certain that Capel only has eyes for the Bernabéu and would jump at the chance to join Bernd Schuster's side.
Capel's current buy-out clause stands at just €12m, the report states, but will rise to €15m if he appears in another four games for the Andalucian outfit this season to take his tally to 40 matches. With interest also coming from Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, if Madrid fail to take up the offer then it could spark a frenzy of negotiations.
Madrid are uncertain whether to splash the cash as they also have eyes for Luis Fabiano and president Ramón Calderón and sporting director Predrag Mijatovic are said to not want to rock the boat with mercurial Sevilla supremo José Maria del Nido. Also Daniel Alves' future is still up in the air with Los Merengues said to be vying with Barcelona for the Brazilian.
After making his debut at just 16 under Joaquín Caparrós, it is only this season that Capel has come to the public's attention with his incredible pace down the left flank and his control and eye for goal. Sevilla are keen on him inking a new contract with a vastly improved buy-out clause, but while the interest remains from Madrid the youngster is not keen to sign any deal.
