Get Football News France cites a report by journalist Romain Molina, which claims that the Brazilian's representatives have offered his services to some of Europe's top clubs to no avail.
The 25-year-old has scored 17 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions this season and registered an assist for Kylian Mbappe in the 4-3 UEFA Champions League quarter-final second-leg defeat to Bayern Munich.
However, there has been a surprising lack of interest in the forward, who most recently signed an improved deal at the Bernabeu in 2023.
Molina reported that Chelsea were among the clubs to have turned down the chance to sign the Real frontman.

Rashford's Barcelona future in the balance
Marcus Rashford's Barcelona future is still up in the air until a meeting takes place between Deco and Hansi Flick.
That is according to a report in Marca, which states that the Catalans are still reluctant to pay the agreed €30 million buyout clause to Manchester United.
The 28-year-old looked almost certain to join Barca permanently following an impressive run of form before Christmas, but his recent displays have led the Spanish giants to think otherwise.
The report reads: "The main reason is the significant drop in the England international's performance in 2026. His numbers are far from those he posted in his first months as a Barcelona player. Furthermore, he has failed to capitalise on Raphinha's absence due to injury to establish himself as a key player in attack.
"This decline in performance has sown doubts within the sporting hierarchy, who no longer see the player as a game-changer. Added to this is the financial impact of the transfer. Although €30 million could be considered a reasonable market price, his valuation, according to Transfermarkt, is actually €10 million higher, meaning the deal would have a significant impact on the club's finances."

Manchester City close to deal for French starlet
Manchester City are looking ahead to the future, as they look to complete a deal for Troyes winger Mathys Detourbet.
Get Football News France has highlighted a report by Sacha Tavolieri, which claims that City have agreed a fee for the 18-year-old, but he is likely to remain at Troyes on loan for a further season.
The report reads: "An agreement for a transfer worth an estimated €15 million is said to have been reached between the Sky Blues and ESTAC Troyes, also a member of the City Football Group. Should the deal go through, however, Detourbet is expected to remain in France next season to gain experience in Ligue 1, which Troyes, the current leaders of Ligue 2, are expected to return to shortly.
"Having enjoyed a standout season for his youth club, the left winger – a French Under-19 international – has already made 33 appearances (24 as a starter) in the 2025–26 campaign. He has also contributed two goals and seven assists."

Mavropanos set to leave West Ham
Konstantinos Mavropanos looks set to leave West Ham United this summer, with several Bundesliga and Premier League clubs monitoring the Greek defender.
That's according to Florian Plettenberg, who claims that the 28-year-old is on Borussia Dortmund's radar.
He posted on X: "Konstantinos Mavropanos is set to leave West Ham this summer as he is seeking a new challenge. #WHUFC
"28 y/o has delivered top performances consistently over the past few months, attracting interest from both the Bundesliga and the Premier League.
"Borussia Dortmund have discussed him internally in recent weeks. Potential deal could be difficult as his price is expected to be very high."
Mavropanos netted twice in a 4-0 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last Friday, and also scored in the impressive 1-1 draw with title chasing Manchester City last month.
His current contract at the London Stadium runs until June 2028.
