Karim Benzema has a valid contract with Real Madrid until the end of June this year. For the time being, the two sides have not entered into negotiations, but the French striker could benefit from . Karim Benzema has missed 11 games this season due to injuries, leaving Brazil’s Rodrygo as striker. It is possible that Real Madrid will want to strengthen this position in the summer transfer window.
Two candidates to replace Karim Benzema. Among them, Milik’s rival from Juventus
ESPN reports that Real Madrid are expecting a busy summer transfer window and could bring in a new striker. The source mentions two candidates: Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus and Richarlison from Tottenham. The Serbian striker has struggled with health issues this season but managed to score nine goals and register three assists in 19 matches. “Real received positive reports about Vlahovic during his time at Fiorentina before joining Juventus. He is seen as a goal-scoring machine with room for improvement,” the article reads.
Richarlison, on the other hand, has been at Tottenham since July 2022, when he left Everton for €58m. The Brazilian striker made 19 appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing three assists. In Richarlison’s favor may be the fact that he already worked with Carlo Ancelotti at Everton. Ancelotti is a fan of his, but the club is aware that the striker’s transfer will not be easy as his contract with Tottenham runs until 2027.
According to ESPN journalists, Real Madrid can strengthen not only in the position of the center forward. With the possible departure of Marco Asensio without a transfer fee, the club may look for a new winger to rival Rodrygo and Fede Valverde. Frenchman Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich is to be the candidate.
Real Madrid remains in the game on three fronts. The team led by Carlo Ancelotti is second in the Spanish league with 45 points and eleven points adrift of leaders Barcelona. Real Madrid will also face the Catalans in the Copa del Rey semi-final. Real Madrid will face Liverpool in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League.
