Real Madrid have reportedly identified Inter Milan forward Mauro Icardi as a potential summer target.

The European champions have just allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to sign for Juventus, and it has resulted in the need for a high-profile replacement before the start of the new campaign.

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has been heavily linked with a switch to the Bernabeu, but according to Marca, Real are considering a move for Icardi.

The 25-year-old has spent his entire professional career in Italy, with a combined total of 110 goals being scored for Inter and Sampdoria in 190 Serie A appearances.

Twenty-nine of those strikes came during the most recent campaign, and it could lead to the La Liga giants making a big-money offer in the coming weeks.

Real president Florentino Perez has claimed that the club will make some "incredible" signings before the new season.
