#3 Club handed a boost in their chase of Christian Pulisic

Christian Pulisic is a very wanted commodity in the transfer market. While Kylian Mbappe might have grabbed the headlines for being the teenage star at the World Cup, Pulisic has been making a lot of progress in the last few years at Dortmund and a move might soon follow.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have previously been linked with the American international and latest comments from Pulisic’s father reveal that the winger could soon be on the move.

His father Mark revealed, There's always change. You can think one thing, then you do it, and at the end of the day it wasn't the right thing.

"Football is crazy. You have to go with the flow and make sure the player feels comfortable, whatever the decision is. There's no magic formula. Is it right to stay at Dortmund? Who knows. Is it right to move to another club? He might think it is, or someone else might think it is, but it might not be in the player's mind.

"The only thing we can do is continue to talk with him and make sure he's always in the loop of what's going on, present all the facts and the content of what can happen, or will happen. It's up to the player to make that final call."

Pulisic had his personal best season last time with Borussia Dortmund and has been in impressive form so far during pre-season, having scored twice against Liverpool in the International Champions Cup.

#2 Alex Telles to provide backup for Marcelo?

The left-back spot needs a bit of depth considering Madrid have loaned out Achraf Hakimi and are open to letting Theo Hernandez leave the club for more first-team action.

Alex Telles has been deemed as a potential candidate for the role after an impressing season at Porto. Signed as a replacement for Alex Sandro who moved to Juventus, Telles has made a big impact for the Portuguese outfit and is one of the best, if not the best, fullbacks in the Liga NOS.

Last season, Telles managed to record an incredible 13 assists from the full-back position and also plundered three goals. Considering the attacking talent he possesses, he could potentially be used as a left-winger as well.

#1 Edinson Cavani on Madrid’s radar

After another impressive domestic campaign and a pretty good World Cup with Uruguay, Edinson Cavani has caught the attention of Los Blancos it seems. According to reports from AS, Cavani is Madrid’s new choice of replacing the departed Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid have quite a bit of money to spend as Ronaldo’s departure has left them with €100 million. Cavani, though, won’t come cheap as he earns €12 million a year at Paris and has a contract till 2020.

Last season, the Uruguayan managed 28 league goals and his three strikes in the World Cup helped the South American side reach the quarterfinals where they eventually fell to France.
