Real Madrid are setting their sights on Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Manchester City's Ryan Cherki in light of their attacking uncertainties before the winter transfer window.
According to the source, Rodrigo's injury and the likelihood of Brahim Diaz's departure in January have prompted the Madrid club's hierarchy to explore attacking options. Real's scouting department is gathering extensive data on the playing styles, statistical performances, and physical conditions of both players.
Saka and Cherki under Real's watchful eye
Bukayo Saka has become a pivotal player for Arsenal, while Ryan Cherki is making waves at Manchester City. German reports suggest that both players are among the attacking talents that Real are considering to strengthen their squad.
However, negotiations between Real and the English clubs have yet to commence. The source claims that initial contacts with the players' representatives could materialise soon.
Arsenal and Manchester City reluctant to sell
As per the publication, both English clubs are not keen on letting their star players go, indicating that any potential negotiations could prove to be challenging and necessitate significant financial investment.
Reportedly, Arsenal might entertain offers for Saka only in the range of €150-160 million. Meanwhile, any move for Cherki is expected to exceed €100 million, although the publication does not provide a precise valuation.
The interest in Saka and Cherki reflects Real's need to assess options for enhancing their attack amidst the concerning situations surrounding Rodrigo and Brahim Diaz.
