ANOTHER MISS? Real Madrid may fail to sign another big target
The kings of Europe may miss on yet another target
You'd think that winning the UEFA Champions League a record 14th time, as well as your home league, as well as enjoying one of the best legacies in the history of the sport would be enough for Real Madrid to attract any signings they want.
Real Madrid are kings of Europe, but not of the transfer market

Leao, who scored 14 goals and gave 12 assists in 42 games for AC Milan, would be another dangerous piece for City to add, and the 22-year-old would surely improve under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola.

Surely a new experience for los Blancos and their president Florentino Pérez.
