Always active on the transfer front, Real Madrid continue to search all across Europe for football's biggest stars, whether they be established names or up-and comers, and Monaco duo of Bernardo Silva and Kylian Mbappe hasn't gone unnoticed in the Spanish capital.
Scouts and other technical staff have realised that Monaco's Ligue 1 leading form is no coincidence and that young promising players like Bernardo Silva, Bakayoko, Lemar, and Mbappe continue to stand out under coach Leonardo Jardim.
Bernardo Silva has already been linked with a move to Los Blancos in the past, as the 22-year-old attacking midfielder continues to shine.
Mbappe too has impressed, his goalscoring rate and partnership with Radamel Falcao creating one of Europe's deadliest strike forces.
The 18-year-old striker has even earned comparisons to a young Thierry Henry because of his exploits.
The scouting reports from both players are glowing and the merengues are intent on not letting a player like Borussia Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele or Alexander Isak slip through the cracks again.
Mbappe is the youngest ever scorer for Monaco and made his debut back in December of 2015, which means he has plenty of first-team experience for a player his age.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are interested in 21-year-old midfielder Thomas Lemar.
One thing is for certain, these players may not be at Monaco for very long, and Real Madrid want to make sure the very best are headed their way.
