Real Madrid are ready to give into Jose Mourinho's request and buy a new striker in January.
Mourinho has made it clear his squad has been left short of attacking options and AS says Real's board have agreed to explore the prospect of signing a big-name forward when the winter market opens.
Top of their shopping list is unsettled Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
Only last week, Adebayor warned he would seek a move away in January if he continued to be left on the bench by City boss Roberto Mancini.
