Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is willing to take the Real Madrid job.
Sky Italia says Conte has made it clear to Real president Florentino Perez that he's available to replace Julen Lopetegui.
Conte's minders were contacted last Monday by Real and another call was made in the aftermath of Saturday's defeat to Levante.
The Italian is still in a payoff dispute with Chelsea after his sacking at the end of last season.
However, Conte has now made it clear he'll drop his case if Real offer him the job.
