REAL MADRID are monitoring Lille’s star trio ahead of a sensational summer raid, according to reports.
Spanish publication Marca report that Bernabeu scouts have been sent to France to keep an eye on the Ligue 1 hotshots.
Marca say Real could make a move for three Lille players
Among those linked with a move is 21-year-old Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, who has bagged 10 goals in 18 appearances so far this season.
He signed for Lille in July for around £10.2m and scored two on his league debut against Nantes.
Osimhen was named Player of the Month for the French top flight in October last year.
The display has not gone unnoticed by the likes of Liverpool and Barcelona who have shown an interest.
Also on Zinedine Zidane’s wishlist is French deep-lying midfielder and former Paris Saint-Germain ace Boubakary Soumare.
The 20-year-old Frenchman has also been linked to Manchester United and Tottenham and is rated at around £50million.
Reports in L’Equipe suggest Lille have already received six offers for the young Frenchman as the battle hots up for his signature.
Soumare was targeted by Wolves last summer but the Midlands club saw a £34m offer knocked back.
Gabriel Dos Santos Magalhaes is the final member of the trio.
The 22-year-old Brazilian has made 16 appearances in Lille’s defence and been linked with a move to Juventus.
To have any hope with these deals, though, Los Blancos will have to cut their foreign player quota.
The club are working with Brazilian wonderkid Vinicius Jr to assure his dual citizenship.
Manchester United’s Paul Pogba could also be on his way to Real Madrid.
The World Cup winner’s future at Old Trafford is over and Toni Kroos could be used as part of a deal.
