Real Madrid are keeping a watchful eye on Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani and could come up with a big transfer window offer, AS reports.

The Whites want to sign an experienced striker following Cristiano Ronaldo‘s exit and need reinforcements at the top of the pitch.

Karim Benzema, who struggled for goals last season, and rising star Marco Asensio are Julen Lopetegui’s only out-and-out forward options heading into the new campaign, while the club are unlikely to burden Vinicius Junior with too much responsibility, too soon.

That has led to speculation Cavani could arrive in the Spanish capital, though the 31-year-old isn’t available on the cheap.

The Uruguayan is valued at €89 million (Dh380m) but is a likely option given moves for Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski have slowed.

Real’s interest in Eden Hazard has also seemingly cooled, though club president Florentino Perez is desperate to make a marquee acquisition.

Cavani, to a large extent, would fill that void.
