Among a number of players that have been linked to Real Madrid, as many as five have been negotiated with and closed in upon by the Whites.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has promised to Zinedine Zidane that he will be having the best of resources for next season to compete for all three trophies which were shamefully lost by Real Madrid this season. The Whites want to retaliate in 2019-20, but they too know that there will be a few changes necessary.

The arrival of Eder Militao has already been confirmed from Porto for a transfer fee of 50 million euros. The Portuguese central defender will be joining the Whites effective 1st July. The 21-year-old is a bright prospect and is certain to get a lot of opportunities next season, especially with Jesus Vallejo and possibly even Raphael Varane set to leave the club.
The next name on the five man list is that of Eden Hazard. Real Madrid have already bid worth 80 million euros for the Belgian, but Chelsea ask for 120 and hence, that agreement is slightly taking time. However, Hazard’s arrival at Real Madrid is imminent especially after his words about Madrid and Zidane as well as Chelsea’s most likely failure to make the top four.
The third signing is going to be very complex in the shape of Paul Pogba. The France international is considered integral by Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, so there is less chance that the Red Devils will let go of him. They have slapped a price tag of 150 million euros on Pogba which Real Madrid may or may not be able to meet.
The fourth player on Real Madrid’s radar is probably going to be there next season. Luka Jovic of Eintracht Frankfurt is enjoying the season of his life in Germany, and has also turned a deaf ear towards Barcelona amid Real Madrid’s offer. He believes that the Whites will offer him more than the Catalans where Leo Messi has a big say in things. He will cost 60M.
Finally the icing on the cake could be Kylian Mbappe’s signing. The Paris Saint-Germain forward is valued at 350 million euros and hence his arrival is nearly impossible but certainly not unthinkable. Florentino Perez is on a mission to negotiate the price and even try to formulate a swap deal, but PSG are notorious dealers in that aspect.
Given that Real Madrid are going to sell players as well, which three would you like them to cash in on?
