Real Madrid is the most successful club in the UEFA Champions League with 14 titles. Signing more creative players to the team has allowed them to be more stable in the competition.
In order to improve their performance, they have 3 main goals before the summer transfer window of 2023. Los Blancos are aiming to improve their defense by targeting Reece James. The English right-back who plays for Chelsea has the ability to create chances and defend very well. In midfield, they target English central midfielder Jude Bellingham. Signing him means they will line up with Luca Modric and Federico Valverde in midfield. He has scored 10 goals and has 7 assists for Borussia Dortmund in the 2022/2023 season, which clearly shows he is a better target.
They are also targeting French striker Kylian Mbappe. Despite not getting him at the start of the season, they still hope that he will be one of their players in the summer of 2023. Signing Mbappe means he will play with Vinicius Junior as a winger, with Karim Benzema as the central striker.
Here's how Real Madrid could line up next season if they secure their targets in the summer of 2023.

Liverpool target reveals he 'signed for Arsenal' before deal 'got complicated'
Villarreal striker Samuel Chukwueze has revealed he was once close to signing for Premier League leaders Arsenal but the deal "became complicated".
The 23-year-old moved to Europe in 2017 when he joined La Liga side Villarreal and he first linked up with their academy side.
Chukwueze has not looked back since making his debut for Villarreal in the 2018/19 campaign.
The winger has scored 35 goals and 31 goals in 196 appearances for the Spanish side at senior level. He has been in excellent form this season having been involved in 22 goals in 39 appearances for Villarreal in all competitions. Speaking earlier this season, Villarreal coach Quique Setien called Chukwueze a player with 'huge potential'.
"Samu is a decisive player at times, with a lot of head-to-head play that makes opponents nervous. We'll try to take advantage of his attraction to opponents," said Quique Setien. December.
"All players have good things and other things to improve on. He is a player with huge potential that we will try to reach the highest performance possible.
His form during the 2022/23 campaign has led to reports linking the Nigeria international with a move to the Premier League. Recently it has been reported that he is being watched by Liverpool.
But if his youth career had been different, he could have been an Arsenal player. He has now revealed that he almost joined them as a teenager before signing for Villarreal.
“Since the [U17] 2015 World Cup, I went to Arsenal to sign a contract, but things got complicated because they couldn’t find an agreement with my academy,” Chukwueze told El Periodo Mediterraneo.
“I went through Salzburg and Porto before I had the chance to go to Villarreal. And I signed the contract before I was 17.
"They told me I had to turn 18 before I signed my final contract as a professional player. I said, 'Okay, no problem.' I returned to Nigeria and started training again with my academy.
Arsenal want to sign a winger in the last two transfer windows.
The Londoners had their sights set on Wolves' Pedro Neto and Villarreal's Yeremi Pino but failed to reach an agreement.
Then in January, they played against Chelsea for Mykhaylo Mudryk. The Blues eventually reached an agreement on the squad, while Arsenal signed Leandro Trossard from Brighton and Hove Albion for around £27m.
Trossard proved to be a wise signing for Arsenal. He has seven assists in just 13 appearances for the Premier League leaders.
