Meanwhile, Real Madrid are preparing a January offer for Kylian Mbappe. Elsewhere, Los Blancos also want to move for a Leicester City midfielder this winter.
On that note, here's a look at the key Real Madrid transfer stories as on 12th November 2021.
Real Madrid preparing January move for Kylian Mbappe
Real Madrid are preparing an offer for Kylian Mbappe, and will move for him in January, according to journalist Alberto Pereiro.

Real Madrid remain interested in the Frenchman, whose current deal with PSG expires next summer. Mbappe has his heart set on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
PSG are leaving no stone unturned in keeping Mbappe at the Parc des Princes, but things look bleak for the Parisians at the moment. Los Blancos are now ready to test PSG's resolve in January.

The La Liga giants want to steal a march on their rivals by securing his services this winter.
