Chelsea and Man United will go head-to-head for Alvaro Morata's signature this summer
Real Madrid want to revamp their frontline this summer, once again plunging Morata's future into doubt.
Spanish outlet Don Balon claim Zinedine Zidane wants Monaco's Kylian Mbappe and Paulo Dybala of Juventus when the transfer window reopens.
They report that should Real land either star, Morata will be offloaded.
It is said several Premier League sides are keen on the 24-year-old striker but Chelsea and United are leading the chase for him.
Blues boss Antonio Conte wants to bolster his attacking options this summer and has kept close tabs on Morata throughout the current campaign.
United's Jose Mourinho handed Morata his Real debut and remains keen on the forward.
Don Balon add that Mourinho will step up his pursuit of Morata should Zlatan Ibrahimovic not sign a contract extension with the club.
Morata, who has scored 19 goals in 40 appearances for club and country this season, is valued at around £50m.
