A fresh insight into the summer transfer plans of the powers that be at La Liga giants Real Madrid has been forthcoming this afternoon.
And the news will no doubt be met with widespread excitement on the part of the Real faithful.
This comes amid confirmation that the Blancos brass have drawn up a three-man list of priority signings with a view to next season.
And each, in their own right, would mark a superb addition to Carlo Ancelotti’s ranks.
The info comes courtesy of Marca, who unsurprisingly point towards Kylian Mbappé as being the no.1 target on the part of Florentino Pérez and his team.
The France international is currently locked in talks with Real over a summer free transfer, with a move, at present, looking increasingly likely to come to fruition.
Next on the wishlist in Spain’s capital comes another high-profile figure long tipped to take his talents to the Santiago Bernabéu, in Alphonso Davies.
Though the coaching staff at Real have been satisfied with the performances of Ferland Mendy and Fran García across the season to date, the consensus is that left-back is an area of Ancelotti’s squad which could be improved.
And Davies is the profile most coveted to fill the role, ahead of a fresh assault on the Canadian’s signature over the coming weeks.
Last up on Real Madrid’s list comes a name which has taken on increasing prominence in the headlines in Spain over recent weeks.
The player in question? Leny Yoro.
Central defender Yoro is widely considered to be one of European football’s standout up-and-coming talents, in turn identified as the potential future of the club’s backline by those behind the scenes at the Bernabéu.
The plan is therefore to take advantage of the 18-year-old’s contract situation with Lille (like Davies, due to expire in 2025) to strike a cut-price deal this summer.
