5 players who could join Real Madrid this summer

Barcelona v Atletico Madrid - La Liga
A move across Madrid on the cards?

Real Madrid is a club, where nothing other than trophies would make the management happy.

But, the season they have had now is far away from the aforesaid. The team is trailing by 15 points in the La Liga to the leaders Barcelona.

Their only hope for this season is winning the UEFA Champions League, but it's still an uncertainty.

For all these reasons, Real Madrid are all set to revamp their squad this summer and they have set sight on many star players, who have been impressing the world.

It is no a doubt that Los Blancos would go for these players, but it is a doubt that whom could they sign.

There are a plethora of players linked with the 12-time UEFA Champions League winners, but, in this article, we will look at the top five players who could join them this summer.


#5 Antoine Griezmann

The Atletico Madrid forward is all set to decide his future before the World Cup and he is on the radar of arch-rivals, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Both the Spanish behemoths have been trying to bring in Griezmann to add depth to their attack.

According to Diario Gol, there are still chances for the French player to end up joining Real Madrid.

With his release clause being a fair figure, Real Madrid would want to sign him.

Bringing him in will help Real Madrid's attack, which has been off the boil this season.

Griezmann could combine well with Ronaldo on the attacking front. He's scored 17 goals so far in La Liga, which is a good figure when compared with the that of Real Madrid's attackers.

And that is what he could exactly bring into Real Madrid. Besides Ronaldo, Real don't have a player who can score goals for fun and thus, these reasons make him suit the Los Blancos jersey.

#4 Robert Lewandowski

RSC Anderlecht v Bayern Muenchen - UEFA Champions League
Lewandowski has scored 22 goals in the Bundesliga so far

Poland attacker Lewandowski is displaying splendid at Bayern Munich. The former Borussia Dortmund star is playing a crucial role in their sojourn and has been an integral part of the crew.

Impressed by his display, Madrid are set to sign the Polish star this Summer, according to Metro.

Real Madrid is set for a squad overhaul this summer after suffering from a poor performance in the La Liga.

They are all set to launch a £88 million bid for the striker. Adding to the possibility of the transfer happening is the fact that Lewandoski has refused to pen down a contract renewal.

Lewandoski has scored 22 goals for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, which is a far better return than what Benzema and Bale have managed to do this season. His consistency and his efficiency in finishing also make him apt to Zidane's tactics.

If Real Madrid could sign Lewandowski, it would signal the end of Benzema's time at Real Madrid. The French attacker has been below-par this season with his performances for the Los Blancos.

Given his current form at Bayern, Lewandowski could do bigger things in the La Liga and in the Champions League with Real Madrid.

The versatile attacker in Lewandowski could prove to be a blessing to the Spanish giants, as he is a top-class finished blessed with creativity and pace.

Finishing has been a problem for Real Madrid this season and Lewandoski could solve it.

#3 Neymar

Real Madrid v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg
Neymar has been the best player in France

Neymar, who is at the ranks of Paris Sent Germain, is among those players, whom Real Madrid target this summer.

The Brazilian had been in fantastic form since his arrival to Paris, helping them demolish defenders.

However, his services seemed futile as PSG were trounced by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League knock-out round which ended their European dreams.

The Brazilian is, currently, injured and is expected to make a return just before the FIFA World Cup 2018.

However, according to Mirror, Neymar has held talks with his agent over a possible move to the Spanish capital this summer

Neymar has scored 20 goals this season for PSG in the Ligue 1. The Brazilian striker has forged a deadly trio along with Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe.

His ability to get past defenders had always made PSG look more dangerous. So, replicating this performance at Real Madrid would see him become the lynchpin of Real Madrid attack.

Bringing Neymar could help them increase their attacking power more than ever. He could also become the player to replace Ronaldo at Los Blancos.

However, bringing him would cost them a world record figure and they'll have to offload many of their key players to make that a possibility.

#2 Mohamed Salah

Liverpool v Watford - Premier League
Salah is one of the prime candidates to win the European Golden Boot this season

The Egyptian magician has already taken the world by storm. He's been in tremendous form for Liverpool this season, scoring 28 goals in the Premier League so far and obviously, is one of the prime candidates to win the European Golden Boot.

Salah's performance has caught everyone's eye, including that of Real Madrid.

As aforesaid, he's scored 28 goals in the English Premier League so far. As we all know, the defence of English teams have always been of a high standard.

Recreating such a display is not a herculean task in the La Liga. Salah's arrival would help Real Madrid add variety in their attack.

According to Diario Gol, Madrid have offered Liverpool £150 million and the services of Lucas Vazquez for the Egyptian. Liverpool is trying to exert pressure on Real Madrid to increase the figure.

If Salah comes in, he will replace either of Benzema or Bale, who's set to leave Bernabeu this summer in search of greener pastures.

Salah's inclusion could prove lethal as his incredible form in Europe is already a proof of the talent he possesses.

#1 Harry Kane

AFC Bournemouth v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Madrid have been chasing Kane in the past few seasons

Harry Kane had an incredible season with Tottenham Hotspur this team. The Academy graduate has been in splendid form for the North Londoner's and was among the contenders for the European Golden Boot, but, unfortunately, he was caught with an injury.

However, Real Madrid are eyeing to sign the English striker, according to Independent.

Real Madrid have been chasing the player for a long time and they're all set to make it happen this summer.

But, for it, Real Madrid will have to spend big money, a figure more than £150 million.

Kane has scored 24 goals this season in the Premier League. The same copy of his performance will be what Real Madrid want, who're striving to find an end to their problems in front of the goal.

His signing will help Real Madrid and Zidane give Ronaldo a role of a poacher, as the Spurs striker could run the business smartly.

If the deal happens, it'll undoubtedly become the biggest move of this summer.
