Real Madrid are planning a bid for Sevilla left-back Adriano.

Marca says Real management are fed-up with Royston Drenthe and Marcelo's inconsistency and are turning to Adriano as a solution for the left-side of defence.

Adriano has tied to Sevilla until 2014, but has welcomed the interest of Real. For now, the approach is a simple inquiry, but negotiations are expected to intensify ahead of the winter market opening.
