Real Madrid are reportedly adamant to sign a Cristiano Ronaldo replacement this summer and will turn to Kylian Mbappe or Rodrigo after concluding that the Premier League clubs won't sell their prized assets.
The Independent's Miguel Delaney wrote Real now feel it's "almost impossible" to buy from the Premier League, which saw its transfer window shut on August 9. That's said to have left Paris Saint-Germain star Mbappe and Valencia's Rodrigo as their two top targets.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard are all mentioned as targets linked with Los Blancos this summer but are now all but guaranteed to finish their seasons in England.
