Real Madrid's lack of goals and especially by Karim Benzema, who has just five from 20 matches, has seen them linked with Mauro Icardi by Corriere dello Sport for next summer.
The most attractive element about the Inter forward is his price, with the buy-out clause dropping to 110 million euros next summer, and that is not so high considering recent transfers, sparked by Neymar's record breaking move.
In Italy they are speculating that a strong World Cup by Icardi could increase his value.
The Nerazzurri are said to be hopeful of the 24-year-old signing a new deal at the San Siro which would increase his annual wage from €5m to €7m.
