According to Fichajes, Los Blancos are closely monitoring the Senegalese's situation at the Allianz Arena, and see the forward as a potential replacement for their outgoing captain.
The west African's situation with the German giants has quickly deteriorated this year, with reports suggesting he has been transfer-listed by the Bavarians, and the record European champions are said to be keen to pounce on that situation.
Mane was rumoured to have been a target for Los Merengues in the past, when Zinedine Zidane was in charge, but having failed in their pursuit of the forward back then, it seems the LaLiga club has now rekindled their interest in the two-time CAF Men's Player of the Year.
Along with Benzema, Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio are also set to leave the Spanish capital this month, leaving Real with a lack of depth up front going into the 2023/24 campaign.
The chiefs at Valdebebas anticipated that the talismanic Frenchman would spend one more season with them, but will now have to prioritise getting a striker in the off-season.
