Real Madrid 'draw up three-man striker shortlist'

A report claims that Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez is one of three players that Real Madrid have added to their transfer shortlist ahead of the summer window.

Real Madrid have shortlisted three players in their search for a new striker, according to a report.

Los Blancos have failed to truly replace Cristiano Ronaldo since his departure in 2018 and have relied heavily on Karim Benzema to lead their line.

Mariano Diaz and Luka Jovic have been unable to fill the void and Spanish outlet Marca claims that plans are in place to bring in another striker this summer.

Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez and Timo Werner of RB Leipzig are said to be on Madrid's shortlist, while Erling Braut Haaland - who has starred for Borussia Dortmund since joining the club in January - is also wanted.

Barcelona are also rumoured to be in the running for Martinez, however, while Werner has a £51m release clause in his contract and Dortmund will be reluctant to offload Haaland.

Benzema has scored 18 goals for Madrid in all competitions this term, but he has gone five games since last finding the back of the net.
