Real Madrid are currently attempting to buy one of the Paris Saint-Germain duos to bolster their squad.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is reportedly wanting to completely reshuffle the squad next season. The Los Blancos have been linked with plenty of players across Europe as they are open to selling some of their stars in the forthcoming summer transfer window.

The left-back Marcelo who has reportedly been told to warm the bench after losing out his place to the young Sergio Reguilon is eager to secure a move to Juventus to link up with his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. Isco has completely fallen out of favour under the new manager Santiago Solari who is willing to sell him if a suitable offer arrives.

Marco Asensio is another player rumoured to leave the Los Blancos after failing to stamp his authority in the starting eleven. Luka Modric who wanted to leave Real Madrid for Inter Milan last summer could be heading the exit door as his contract expires by 2020.

Florentino Perez was eager to finalize a deal for Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard who decided to stay put after Chelsea requested him his services. Christian Eriksen is another name targetted, but it is believed that the London outfit are demanding a fee of over 200 million for the Danish midfielder.

According to the Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, Real Madrid have not decided to go all out for Eden Hazard or Christian Eriksen as they seek the possibility of luring one of Kylian Mbappe or Neymar to Santiago Bernabeu in the summer window.

Florentino Perez was desperate for Neymar before the Brazilian opted to sign for Barcelona instead in 2013. However, the Real Madrid president could move to the La Liga again with several reports linking him with the two Spanish giants.

On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe made a permanent move to Paris Saint-Germain last summer after spending a year on loan away from AS Monaco. The French International is contracted with Paris Saint-Germain until 2022, but he does not rule out a potential move to Real Madrid in the future.

When he was asked if is interested in a move to Real Madrid earlier this month, the PSG forward said: “I’m fine here, but in football and the future you never know.”

It will be an interesting summer for the Los Blancos who are looking to bring in new faces to bolster their squad.
