Real Madrid are set to enter the transfer market to find an alternative to Luka Jovic, who has scored just twice in 24 appearances since his £50m move from Eintracht Frankfurt.
The form of the 22-year-old means that pressure remains on the shoulders of veteran Karim Benzema, who will turn 33 later this year.
Reports have now claimed that there are two names that come above Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on their list of preferred new forwards, with another Premier League star set to see his loyalty tested.
That update could come as a blow to the former Milan forward, who has previously outlined his desire to play for Los Blancos at some point in his career.
