Real Madrid president Florentino Perez could shop locally in January for a new striker.
With doubts over Mariano Diaz persisting, Florentino is expected to return to the transfer market over the New Year to boost their attack.
Sport says the Real supremo will seek to sign a local forward - without splashing out big.
Espanyol striker Borja Iglesias and Celta Vigo's Maxi Gomez are featuring high on Real's agenda.
PSG centre-forward Edinson Cavanis is also being considered, though his valuation is regarded as too steep for the winter transfer window.
