A look at the areas that La Liga’s leaders will want to address.
The current week has been an exciting one for Real Madrid and manager Zinedine Zidane. With the season’s second El Clasico on the horizon this coming Sunday, a Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick powered Los Blancos into the UEFA Champions League semi-final round over Bayern Munich.
Their La Liga campaign has the club poised for glory as well, holding a three-point lead on Barcelona heading into a massive encounter this weekend at the Santiago Bernabeu. But even in the midst of tremendous possible success in the present time, Real Madrid will always have an eye looking towards the upcoming summer transfer window.

Superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale run the show, but Real Madrid will also be aiming to keep their lofty expectations churning at a high level for years to come. From injuries to potential moves away from the Spanish capital for some players, the coming months could see major changes.
We highlight and review five key areas that Real Madrid will want to focus on during the coming transfer period.
