Los Blancos are on the lookout for a new striker with Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale struggling this season.

Bale looks increasingly likely to leave in the summer and is thought to be eyeing up a switch to Manchester United.

But it seems Real could be looking at the other side of Manchester for their next big signing.

Spanish newspaper Marca claim Real are keeping tabs on Sergio Aguero with his future uncertain at the Etihad.

Aguero is said to be growing disillusioned with City boss Pep Guardiola over his reluctance to play him in big games.

The Argentine has had to settle for more time on the bench this season with Gabriel Jesus given game time.

The Daily Mail claim chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak met with Aguero during their pre-season tour of America to discuss his concerns.

Guardiola is determined to keep hold of the 29-year-old, despite being unable to guarantee him a starting role every match.

And with the ongoing situation at the Etihad, Real could take advantage by offering him a way out.

Barca claim a fee of around €70million (£62m) could tempt City into doing business, a sum Madrid would have no trouble matching.

Club president Florentino Perez is willing to offload Bale in order to raise funds for his next signing and the Welshman will have no shortage of offers.
