Zinedine Zidane has started a revolution at the Bernabeu as he managed to lift the league title for the first time in four years, also helping the side to a league title, pipping Barcelona to yet another successful campaign.
Los Blancos became the first team to retain the Champions League title and Zidane is now looking to make serious signings to help his squad for the next season.
There are a number of star players linked with a move to the Bernabeu next season as Zidane looks to improve on a number of positions in the squad.
One such player constantly linked with a move to Real Madrid is Spanish U21 midfielder, Dani Ceballos.

The versatile midfielder enjoyed a fine stint with the national side helping them to a respectable finish in the European Championships recently.
This has seen him attract a lot of demand with the likes of Bayern Munich and Juventus also scouting for him.
Real agree deal
But it is now understood that the Spanish giants have agreed on a deal with the player for a move this summer.
Reports from Spanish news outfit claim that Real Madrid have successfully managed to tie the 21-year old to a six-year deal as Zidane has some long term plans for the midfielder at the Spanish Capital.
It is understood that Real are ready to pay a million or two over the price to ensure that the deal is completed smoothly and Ceballos is expected to cost them just around €15m this summer.
On July 20, Ceballos is scheduled to fly out to San Francisco alongside Spain Under-21 teammates Jesus Vallejo, Marco Asensio and Marcos Llorente to join up with Zinedine Zidane and the Madrid squad on their pre-season tour.
Ceballos is expected to complete his medical on Sunday and Real Madrid are expected to announce his signing on Monday, and this will come as a huge blow for La Liga outfit Barcelona.

Ceballos Rejects Barcelona
It is also understood that the midfielder rejected a similar deal from the Catalan giants and decided to move to the Bernabeu, leaving Barcelona red faced.
The Camp Nou outfit are themselves desperate to add some quality to their first team and are looking at some big names in Europe.
The likes of Marco Verratti are eyed but Barca are not close to finalising a deal for any of their top transfer targets and this deal from Real will come as a big blow for Ernesto Valverde in his first-year in charge at the Camp Nou.
