Many are expecting Los Blancos to spend big in the next transfer window, given Zinedine Zidane's reluctance to splash the cash since his appointment to the club's hot seat in January 2016.
The likes of Eden Hazard and David de Gea are said to be on the club's radar, along with a newly emerged target in Kevin De Bruyne.
The Manchester City playmaker has attained superstar status at the Citizens this season, with strong performances in both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
According to Don Balon, Real are considering offering £176 million (R2.87 billion) for the Belgian international, which would smash their previous transfer record.
It has been a while since Los Blancos made a big-name signing, which is another reason president Florentino Perez wants to see this transfer happen.
