The La Liga giants are desperate for reinforcements up front.

A goalscorer could be brought in at the Bernabeu in the January transfer window.

With Karim Benzema injured, Zinedine Zidane is short of options.

According to Spanish outlet Don Balon, signing Sanchez is Madrid’s number one goal.

It has been claimed Madrid president Florentino Perez is already in talks with the Chile international.

Sanchez is set to leave Arsenal in 2018 with his contract expiring next summer, and he can speak with foreign clubs from January.

Manchester City have targeted a reunion with him for Pep Guardiola, though, and Madrid have another possibility in the pipeline.

Don Balon add their Plan B option to Arsenal’s Sanchez is Harry Kane at London rivals Tottenham.

The 24-year-old would be deemed a more long-term solution.

Should Madrid fail to land Sanchez, a veteran striker could be introduced in January before they plot a summer swoop for Kane.

It is said the England international has ‘fallen in love’ with Zidane and Perez.

Madrid’s president sees Kane as a natural successor to Cristiano Ronaldo, giving them an edge in the No.9 role.

It remains to be seen if Madrid will secure deals for either Sanchez or Kane next year.

But Tottenham especially are likely to drive a hard bargain for their star player.
