After the addition of Antonio Rudiger and the imminent arrival of Aurelien Tchouameni, Real Madrid will now look to add an attacker this summer, after failing in their pursuit of Kylian Mbappé.
The European Champions look to improve the side the claim the double last season and so far so good, they have been able to get the deal done for their top targets bar Mbappé.
Antonio Rudiger arrives after the end of his contract with Chelsea as one of the best defenders in Europe today, featuring in the Champions League and PFA Teams of the year.
The defender enjoyed a successful spell at Chelsea and looking to take up another challenge in his career at 29 years of age, he has chosen Los Blancos over his many other suitors.
Aurelien Tchouameni also featured in the Ligue 1 team of the season have enjoyed a good season with AS Monaco. He is one of the highly rated amongst other players in his position.
Despite the severe interest from PSG and Monaco’s willingness to sell to their rival due to the amount table, Real Madrid is a priority for the 22-year-old and the move is set to be made official in the coming days.
To complement what will be seen as a brilliant summer, Real Madrid will need to sign a forward, who can deputize for Karim Benzema as the current squad lack a threatening deputy for their talisman.
Luka Jovic, who arrived from Frankfurt in 2019 has failed to impress and could be looking to get away this summer to rejuvenate his career elsewhere as nothing seems to be going his way at the Bernabéu.
Getafe has recently lodged a bid for the player before it was later clarified that it was another Madrid player they have on their radar. Jovic will however ensure he gets a move away this summer to booster his chances of World Cup involvement with Serbia.
Mariano Diaz is the other player that could lead the lines but it is obvious he is not of Madrid’s quality. The former Lyon striker is linked with a move to Getafe.
Real Madrid will be looking to clear the books in order to add a bit of quality this summer and Diaz could finally be let go if the right bid comes in.
There are many names that has been linked with Madrid and Gabriel Jesus is the name that most affects the London clubs should Real Madrid decide to pursue an interest in the player.
He could well be the man that fills that shoe perfectly as he could play anywhere across the front three, which provides manager, Carlo Ancelotti different approach to the game, whenever he decides to rest Benzema or play Jesus on the flanks.
Gabriel Jesus appears a top priority for Arsenal this summer as the club is now without a major striker having let go of Aubameyang and Lacazette. An interest from Los Blancos could be detrimental for their hopes of signing the 25-year-old, whom the odds favour them to land.
Chelsea will also be looking for a striker should they part ways with Romelu Lukaku, whether temporarily or permanently, and have been linked with a move for the Brazilian.
Antonio Conte has also been reported to be interested in the player. It is believed that Conte sees Jesus as the right man to partner Harry Kane upfront, to create a likeness of the doubled forward which helped him clinch the league with Inter.
It will be difficult for any of these teams to convince Jesus should he become a priority for Madrid this summer and they can only hope that the 14 times Champions League winners look elsewhere this summer.
It will be interesting to see who finally joins Madrid to fill up in the department and even more interesting to see where Gabriel Jesus moves as he is currently one of the most anticipated deal of the summer.

If he goes to Madrid his chance of playing will be worse than at Man City.
