Sacked Tottenham coach Juande Ramos is being linked with Real Madrid.

Real coach Bernd Schuster needs to beat Real Valladolid this Saturday to save his job after this week's shock Copa del Rey defeat to Real Union.

Ramos is in the frame to replace the German, with his agent, Gines Carvajal enjoying a good relationship with the Real board.

Carvajal boasts Real captain Raul as among his clients.
