REAL MADRID are interested in making a shock move for Manchester City star Julian Alvarez, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Carlo Ancelotti's side are exploring the striker market after losing Karim Benzema to the Saudi Pro League this summer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Frenchman signed for Al-Ittihad, leaving a significant gap up front for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Ancelotti and Co opted not to go big for a striker this summer, instead landing former Stoke and Newcastle flop Joselu on loan from Espanyol.<\/p>\n
While the Italian is currently content with his options, the Spanish giants are expected to recruit a star forward next year.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid have long been linked with Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They are expected to finally get a deal over the line for the 24-year-old next summer, with his PSG contract set to expire.<\/p>\n
But having been in this position with Mbappe before only to see a move fall through, Real Madrid chiefs are exploring alternative options just in case.<\/p>\n
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Man City star Alvarez is on Real's radar.<\/p>\n
They claim that he could emerge as a key target for Ancelotti's side, should they fail to land Mbappe.<\/p>\n
