REAL MADRID are ready to launch a stunning £80million for Anthony Martial, according to reports.
With Cristiano Ronaldo turning 33 in February, Karim Benzema now 30 and Gareth Bale injury prone, Zinedine Zidane is keen to rejuvenate his side’s front line.
And, having missed out on Kylian Mbappe, it appears he is ready to turn to another of his compatriots.
The Mirror report Zidane wants the Manchester United ace, who is starting to show glimpses of his potential this season.
It is understood he believes Martial, 21, can lead the Los Blancos front line in the future.
United would be loathe to let him go with so much raw potential.

Martial has seven goals already this season, but often shared attacking duties with Marcus Rashford, before Mourinho opted to deploy them both in recent matches.
Consistency is still a major issue for the Frenchman, but he is a big fan favourite at United.
He even regain his place in the latest France squad, enjoying a sublime performance during the 2-2 draw with Germany.
