Real Madrid Transfer Rumours: Van Persie, Cavani and More Stars Linked to Madrid
Real Madrid ended rival Barcelona's reign in La Liga this season by winning the Spanish league title, but their failure to reach the Champions League final will be something they work on in the summer by bringing in reinforcements through the transfer window.
Madrid almost always have money to spend in the summer, but this year they don't have too many holes in the squad to fill.
Let's look at three players recently linked to Madrid who would be a good fit at the Bernabeu.
Robin Van Persie
The Arsenal striker has been in-form all season and leads the Premier League in goals scored. He would be a fantastic addition to the Madrid attack, but the Gunners will do everything they can to sign their captain to a new long-term contract.
According to the Mirror, Madrid are willing to pay £25 million to lure the Dutch forward away from the Emirates.
Van Persie and French star Karim Benzema would give Real Madrid the best striker partnership in European club football.
Edinson Cavani
Napoli striker Edinson Cavani really improved his game this season, and because of it, he will be a sought-after player in the summer transfer window.
According to Goal.com, Real Madrid is a team that the Uruguayan star wouldn't mind going to. He has a great shot, good pace and makes effective good runs toward goal.
Cavani would certainly be a big boost to the Madrid attack because of his goal-scoring abilities.
Papiss Cisse
Papiss Cisse and Demba Ba have been key to the resurgence of Newcastle this season, but the club might not keep both players if they receive massive offers for them in the transfer window.
According to The Times (h/t BBC), Madrid is interested in Cisse, who is a very talented striker who can take over matches with his attacking abilities.
Cisse has good pace, fantastic dribbling skills and an accurate shot from long range. Madrid manager Jose Mourinho would be lucky to acquire a forward such as Cisse this summer.
