Real Madrid transfer news and rumours today: Madrid identify Leicester midfielder as Bellingham alternative

Real Madrid are looking at striker options to add depth and secure future prospects at the club. Los Blancos are said to be monitoring Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko, whose current deal runs out at the end of the season, according to a report from SPORT.

Real Madrid is set to face competition from Barcelona for the youngster.

According to a report by Spanish publication SPORT, Real Madrid will be closely tracking several players at the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. One of these is explosive Canadian superstar Alphonso Davies, who they have long admired and could try to lure him in as a left-back successor to Ferland Mendy.

Los Blancos are unsure whether to extend or sell the current left-back Mendy, having largely been unconvinced by his performances and attributes going forward.

Davies, 22, is regarded as one of the most devastating attack-minded left-backs in Europe, and has come leaps and bounds in recent years at Bayern Munich.

The report adds that Davies’ is rated at a staggering €70 million. Given that his contract with Bayern continues until 2025, Real Madrid could struggle to bring Bayern to the negotiating table for their prized asset.
