Real Madrid are one of many clubs in the race for the in-demand striker as they aim for a squad overhaul in the summer.

Zinedine Zidane is looking to add firepower to his attack, as Madrid have been over-reliant on veteran striker Karim Benzema.

This season, the Frenchman has scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 28 La Liga matches for Real Madrid, contributing almost 50% of their league goals.

The Galacticos have been heavily linked with the Borussia Dortmund ace and also Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe as they look to strengthen their attacking unit.
