Real Madrid are plotting an incredible summer in which they are aiming to sign THREE superstars who have a value of close to €300m in order to bridge the gap to Barcelona in LaLiga.

Barca picked up the national crown last weekend, and though Madrid won the Copa del Rey and remain in the thick of the Champions League fight at the semi-final stage, Los Blancos want an improvement next term.

The Bernabeu side have made positive progress to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, with the England international expected to cost in the region of €120 million.

But according to Sky Sports, Los Blancos will not stop there.

Real Madrid target Mbappe and Davies transfers

Madrid are now ready to revisit a move for Kylian Mbappe, having been snubbed by the France international forward last summer, when he was a free agent.

Mbappe, though, would not come cheap. FootballTransfers values the 24-year-old at €139m while PSG are unlikely to sell given that Lionel Messi is liable to leave the club – with Barcelona front runners for the Argentine – and they would prefer Neymar to depart.

Although the Frenchman only has one year left on his contract, PSG were willing to risk him departing on a free transfer in 2022 and are likely to take a similar attitude this summer. Indeed, the Ligue 1 leaders even knocked a €200m bid less than two years ago for their star man.

Similarly, Real Madrid want to sign Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich to bolster their left-back area – a position that they are known to have earmarked for strengthening on the summer.

The 22-year-old Canada international is valued at around €65m and, like Mbappe, is considered a player unsellable by his club. Madrid would, therefore, have to pay significantly over the odds to secure his signature.

A dream transfer window for Real Madrid would mean signing Bellingham, Mbappe and Davies, according to the report, but that would necessitate a spend of at least €300m to get all three – and it’s unclear how they can make that possible.
