Jose Mourinho is looking to negotiate his expertise of the English top flight to prize away a solution to the poor form of current full-back Alvaro Arbeloa, and the club believe an offer of £16.5 million will be enough to seal a deal for one of their targets.
21-year-old Walker has blossomed in his first full season at White Hart Lane and has been virtually an ever-present for Harry Redknapp’s side with neck breaking speed and assurance down the right flank. He has even been dubbed the new Roberto Carlos in some Spanish quarters.
The older Johnson has endured a spell on the side lines for Liverpool more recently and would come at a far lesser price considering his 27 years, but Mourinho worked with the right back and knows him well from his time spent at Chelsea.
Los Blancos still lead La Liga and their great rivals Barcelona by six points but it is clear that Mourinho is already making provisions for the summer, with scouts having been sent to watch both players over the course of the current Premier League campaign.
It remains to be seen whether either Walker or Johnson, who both may feature at Euro 2012 for England, will be attracted by the bright lights of the Bernabeu.
