Real Madrid are looking to boost their squad once the ongoing season ends. The Los Blancos are in the market looking to add a center forward and central midfielder.

The club wants to add a short-term replacement for Karim Benzema with Tottenham Hotspur‘s Harry Kane and Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic being considered. Romelu Lukaku and Kai Havertz are also on their radar but are considered too expensive for now.

With Luka Modric and Toni Kroos approaching the final years of their career, Real Madrid have their eyes on Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella and Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham as long-term replacement. With Eduardo Camavinga’s future at the club being questioned, as he attracts interest from Manchester United, Barella or Bellingham might be an ideal solution.
