5 players Real Madrid should sign this summer

#4 José Giménez

Jose Gimenez in action for Real Madrid's crosstown rivals, Atletico

Atletico fans won't be happy to hear of the increased interest of their city rivals in their centre-back, José Giménez. He is having a brilliant season at the heart of Diego Simeone's defence as they have provided the main threat to Barcelona's title push.

The 23 year old will be part of Uruguay's back line at the World Cup this summer and good performances in Russia could add to a price tag which currently stands at over £50 million. He is on run of 10 consecutive league games for Atleti and has formed part of their formidable defence alongside his international team-mate, Diego Godin who has returned for the last few matches.

Real Madrid might face some competition if they are to go after Giménez as Arsenal have allegedly made him their number one target to sure up their lacklustre defence. However, the short switch across the city in which he is currently employed would be favourable over a move to the Gunners.

If Los Blancos were able to sign Atletico's young star for the reported price (£58 million), it would be a fantastic piece of business with Virgil van Dijk comparatively going to Liverpool for £75 million.
