Real Madrid are eager to bolster their forward options, with a quality striker wanted to deputise for Karim Benzema.
Benzema, who is now 35-years-old, has battled injuries this season and played in 12 of their 20 LaLiga games.
Los Blancos have been regularly linked with Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, while there have been reports of a big-money bid for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani in recent days.
Instead of signing another French forward though, there is a report that Madrid are eyeing up a Brazilian.
