Spanish publication Don Balon claim the club are weighing up their options should Ronaldo leave in the summer.
And the report adds Sanchez is their No1 target after impressing since his move to Arsenal in 2014.
The Chile international has bagged 22 Premier League goals in 47 games for the club and could be lured back to La Liga.
The 26-year-old left Real's huge rivals Barcelona last year after being pushed down the pecking order.

And talk of Ronaldo leaving the Bernabeu at the end of the season means Rafa Benitez's team could be in a position to offer Sanchez a tempting deal.
Ronaldo is contracted to Real until 2018, but reports have suggested he could make a summer move to Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester United.
Sanchez signed a four-year contract with the Gunners last year, in a deal believed to be worth £35million.
