Real Madrid transfer news: Real Madrid to make a shock €120 million bid to sign forward rarely linked to them before and more - January 17, 2019

#1 The striker conundrum

Lukaku has been targeted by Madrid

Real Madrid might be solving their defensive problems with the reported acquisition of Eder Militao but it is their attack that is in a desperate need of renovation. The Galacticos not only missed out on signing a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo but they seem to not have a proper backup for even Karim Benzema.

As a result, according to Marca, Santiago Solari brought up the issue with the Madrid board. However, his pleas fell to deaf ears as the Merengues have decided to not sign a striker in the winter market.

But then this report from Don Balon has a different outlook at things as it claims that Real Madrid are eying a move for Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku, who could cost around €120 million, which is far less than the asking price of Harry Kane.
