After Karim Benzema had a difficult season, Real Madrid is getting ready to recruit a new striker this summer. The 35-year-old's season has been shortened by a number of injuries, despite the fact that he has been in excellent condition.
However, Real Madrid is aware that they can no longer rely on Benzema to the same extent, and as a result, plans are being made to recruit a new striker. Joselu of Espanyol, who had previously played for Los Blancos in the early 2010s, had been mentioned as the Frenchman's backup.
Diario AS reports that Goncalo Ramos, Harry Kane, and Dusan Vlahovic are the only players on Real Madrid's shortlist who can challenge Benzema for the starting position.
Due to his contract expiring at the end of the upcoming season, Kane is anticipated to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer. Ramos is also anticipated to depart Benfica, with many elite European teams reportedly showing interest.
Intriguingly, Real Madrid would have to battle with their city rivals if they choose to pursue the Juventus striker because Atletico Madrid is also interested in signing Vlahovic.
What direction Real Madrid takes in their pursuit for a striker is still to be seen. They will need to find a long-term Benzema replacement, but considering their interest in Erling Haaland, it's probable they may settle for a better backup alternative this summer and sign the Manchester City striker in 2024.
