Real Madrid are on the hunt for a new striker this month and are reportedly looking at Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero, Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud and Odsonne Edouard of Celtic.
Luka Jovic departed the Spanish capital this week to re-join Eintracht Frankfurt on loan until the end of the season, leaving Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane with limited options up front.
A report in AS says that the club’s long-term objective is to bring Borussia Dortmund and PSG stars Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe to the Bernabeu in 2022, but before then they need more cover in attack.
Edouard is listed among the younger options being looked at, as the 22-year-old has a deal until 2022 in Glasgow and a valuation of around €15 million, while he's represented by Gareth Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett.
Other youthful options are Ajax’s 20-year-old striker Lassina Traore and AZ Alkmaar teenager Mayron Boadu.
The Poland international is desperate to make a move this month in order to get game time ahead of the European Championships, and Napoli want €10m for his signature.
