Reports over the last few days have provided some insight into Real Madrid’s future transfer plans.

Real Madrid eyeing fresh legs
Real Madrid are currently in the midst of something of a transitional period.
A number of the club’s attacking stars are currently either out on loan, or being heavily linked with exits.
Gareth Bale is, of course, currently plying his trade on loan at Tottenham, whilst James Rodriguez was moved on permanently over the summer.
Elsewhere, both Isco and Lucas Vasquez have been tipped to depart the Spanish capital in the near future.
In turn, it seems logical that Los Blancos are likely looking into adding some fresh blood to their frontline in the near future.
Salah & Son linked with Real Madrid
And, as outlined above, it appears as though Madrid have begun looking towards the Premier League for options.
First up, it has been claimed that the Spanish champions are following Tottenham’s Heung-min Son closely, amid plans to meet with Jose Mourinho to get information on the South Korean:
Zidane follows Heung-min Son closely. Real Madrid will soon meet with the Tottenham managers and get information about the player.

Son is enjoying a sensational 2020/21 campaign, with his partnership with Harry Kane more deadly than ever.
However, it is hard to imagine Spurs entertaining the idea of parting with the 28-year-old, with Mourinho having even claimed earlier this season that he believes Son intends to commit his future to the club.
Elsewhere, meanwhile, Sky Sports reporter Angelo Mangiante has suggested that Real are strongly interested in Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who represents their key target for next summer:

This link comes just weeks after Salah failed to rule out the possibility of moving to Spain in the future.
