Real Madrid are interested in Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo.
The Mail on Sunday says the European champions are desperate to land another forward, and if they fail to sign Radamel Falcao from Monaco could turn their attentions back to Negredo.
City, who have Sergio Aquero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic available to play up front, could be persuaded to sell as they are only allowed 17 non-home grown players for the Champions League.
