A marquee attacking signing is still a possibility and former Barca star Neymar remains in Real's sights, with the £198million Brazilian seemingly agitating for a move away from Paris Saint-Germain.

They are also considering bringing back Lyon striker Mariano after the Dominican Republic striker's 18-goal season in Ligue 1, while Neymar, Chelsea's Eden Hazard and Juventus' Paulo Dybala are said to be the three players identified to strengthen their attack.

Gareth Bale's future is uncertain and he could command a £200m fee and allow Real to fund a deal for one of the trio.

Barcelona cruised home to win La Liga, with Real's defensive record - inferior by 15 goals - contributing to the results that left them trailing Ernesto Valverde's side by 17 points.

Alvaro Odriozola, 22, is a right-back that Real are keen to sign.

SILVER LINING Real Madrid’s trophy cabinet not big enough for 13th European Cup


Uruguayan international Jose Gimenez is Real's preferred choice at centre-back.

With no chance of rivals Atletico Madrid wanting to sell him on the cheap, Real would have to find £56m to nab him.

The 13-time European champions would have to stump up similar money for Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar and AC Milan's Alessio Romagnoli, who they are also tracking.
