Big changes are expected in Real Madrid's forward line this summer. Alvaro Rodriguez will be promoted to the first team on a permanent basis, while Brahim Diaz is set to return from AC Milan. Meanwhile, Mariano Diaz will certainly leave upon the expiry of his contract, and Eden Hazard could also go.

Real Madrid's only two striker options would be Karim Benzema and Alvaro Rodriguez, but with the former having numerous injury issues this season and the latter being only 18, a third striker could be added.

Roberto Firmino, whose contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the current campaign, is reportedly a target for Real Madrid this summer, according to Fichajes. Atletico Madrid is also interested in signing the Brazilian international.

Real Madrid directors must decide whether to continue with only Benzema and Rodriguez. If not, Firmino would be a sensible inexpensive transfer to help reinforce Los Blancos squad.
