Real Madrid in talks to sign Krzysztof Piatek from Genoa?

Genoa striker Krzysztof Piatek is a £45m target for European champions Real Madrid, according to a report.

Real Madrid have reportedly moved to the front of the queue to sign Krzysztof Piatek after holding talks with the Genoa striker.

Los Blancos are in the process of rebuilding their squad ahead of the 2019-20 season and a new frontman is likely to be at the top of their transfer wishlist.

Madrid have scored just 28 goals in 19 La Liga fixtures this season - 25 fewer than bitter rivals Barcelona - and there are concerns over the form and fitness of long-serving Karim Benzema.

AS suggests that conversations over bringing a replacement in this month have already started, with Piatek emerging as a £45m target, less than a year after joining the Italian club for £4m.

Piatek has hit the ground running with 19 goals in 21 appearances for Genoa, 13 of those coming in Serie A, leading to firm interest from Real.

Barcelona have also been tipped to make a move for the Poland international as a replacement for ageing striker Luis Suarez, who turns 32 next week.
