Marco Asensio is spying Gareth Bale's position in Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane's plans.
Don Balon says Asensio is determined to establish himself as a first-choice and play his way into Spain's World Cup squad next summer.
And he sees Bale as the most vulnerable senior player in Zidane's first-choice XI.
Asensio is convinced he can win over Zidane and dislodge Bale from the senior starting team.
Luka Modric and Isco could also be under threat, but Asensio has decided to target Bale in preseason as he seeks to start the new campaign as a Zidane first-choice.
