Since their sensational win in the Champions League final against Liverpool on 26 May 2018, Real Madrid have undergone a massive turnaround in the ongoing transfer market.

Zinedine Zidane has bidden adieu to his managerial position, Julen Lopetegui has taken the reins in the wake of his departure, Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Juventus for £99.2m and the trio of Vinícius Júnior, Álvaro Odriozola, and Andriy Lunin has been signed.

As such, Real Madrid are still in dire need of reinforcements particularly after the void created by the Portuguese megastar - Cristiano Ronaldo. High time for Florentino Pérez to step up to the plate!

And the unfinished transfer window, which is full swing at the moment, presents Los Blancos with the golden opportunity to pull off some much-needed signings in order to further bolster their star-studded squad for the coming 2018/19 season.

On that note, let us take a look at Real Madrid's 3 most likely signings this summer:


#3 Robert Lewandowski

Over the course of the past few years, Robert Lewandowski has merchandised himself as one of the finest centre-forwards in the football world. And that is the reason why he is still a sought-after personality in the ongoing transfer market in the face of a substandard World Cup campaign.

The 29-year-old has been the kingpin of the Bayern Munich squad since his move from Borussia Dortmund in 2014, inspiring them to 4 consecutive Bundesliga titles.

In the 2017/18 season, he notched up 41 goals along with 5 assists in 48 outings across all competitions, which itself speaks of his finishing ability.

The Poland international is reportedly seeking a change of scenery in his career according to his agent.

Robert feels he needs a change and a new challenge in his career. The managers of Bayern know about it.

Consequently, Real Madrid are keeping close tabs on him as a replacement for Karim Benzema, who has endured a torrid season at Santiago Bernabeu and might be leaving the club any time soon.

Nevertheless, Chelsea are majorly reluctant to let go of their star player, who is unarguably the fulcrum of their prestigious squad.

Latterly, the Belgium international relished a star-spangled World Cup run where he led his team to an impressive third-place finish, registering 3 goals and 2 assists in the process. As a result, he has turned heads of several European top dogs but Real Madrid are in pole position to prise him away from Stamford Bridge.

Even the 27-year-old himself has hinted at a possible transfer to Real Madrid, courtesy of his recent statements.

“After six wonderful years at Chelsea, it might be time to discover something different. I can decide if I want to stay or go, but Chelsea will make the final decision. If they let me out, you already know my favorite destination,” said Hazard, who has been on the record many times saying that Real Madrid is his favorite club.

Hence, this is a deal that seems certain to happen.

#1 Thibaut Courtois

An absolute brick wall

Thibaut Courtois stamped his authority as a reliable goalkeeper during his stint at Atletico Madrid and has kicked on in the same vein at Chelsea.

His recent exploits in Russia which earned him the much-coveted Golden Glove award for accomplishing the most saves in the tournament (27!) have caught the eye of many high-profile clubs who are craving for his signature.

Yet, Real Madrid are leading the race for acquiring the immensely gifted Belgian, who has only got 12 months left on his contract and wishes to join his children in the Spanish capital.

In consequence, the Pensioners' boardroom are considering to cash in on him before they are compelled to abandon him for free.

As per reports, the 26-year-old is all set to join the 13-time Champions League winners with his replacement at Chelsea being the only major hold-up in announcing the buzzworthy deal.
