Real Madrid have a stacked attacking unit currently, with Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo Goes, and Endrick, along with Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler.
Yet, the Merengues are always on the lookout for ways to improve their squad and might enter the summer market for reinforcements to the frontline, even though the priority at the moment is the signing of new full-backs and a centre-back.
As such, journalist Andre Hernan (h/t ESPN) now reports that Real Madrid have set their sights on Manchester City winger Savinho as a potential target to strengthen the team in attack.
Savinho, 20, moved to Manchester City last summer from their sister club Troyes, after impressing on loan at Girona in La Liga over the past couple of seasons.
It has not been a straightforward start for the young Brazilian in the Premier League, but he has managed to nail down a place in Pep Guardiola’s team with some catchy displays, making 27 appearances in which he has one goal and eight assists.

Capable of playing on either flank and with experience in La Liga, Savinho can be an attractive prospect for Real Madrid, but is unlikely to come cheap considering that he has a contract with the Premier League champions until 2029.
As mentioned earlier, though, the strengthening of the attacking unit is unlikely to be a priority for Real Madrid this summer unless there are some departures.
The focus remains on closing the signings of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alphonso Davies on free transfers while a new midfielder will also be sought, especially if Aurelien Tchouameni is sold.
A new, young centre-back is also on the agenda, considering the injury woes that Los Blancos have been facing this season and the advancing ages of David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger.
As for Savinho, while there may be some interest from Real Madrid, as things stand, any move for the Brazilian seems like distant possibility.
