Snip.
Actually Real Madrid had the option to bring in new players in the transfer market last summer, especially in the striker position. however, Perez insists that his team is not currently experiencing a striker crisis. but as you said, having Karim Benzema injured will certainly affect Real Madrid's performance. without underestimating Benzema's ability, but renewal of players is a priority for Real Madrid going forward.
and Don Carlo has realized that, it looks like there are several players who have been targeted and made on the list in the next winter transfer window.
In addition to looking for a replacement for Benzema, who is no longer young, Real Madrid inevitably has to bring in newcomers. and yes, Mbappe is one of the players who meet the criteria as a future Real Madrid striker.
Real Madrid need to refresh in the attacking position, even though they already have Benzema who can still be relied on, but Benzema age is a reason for Madrid to immediately look for alternatives.
Of course Don Carlo is very aware of the current condition of his team, in addition to the age factor that is not young anymore, Benzema is also starting to get injured frequently. Of all the players that Madrid currently has, there is no need to make improvements in all lines, because until now Real Madrid performance is still fine. Only the striker position is the main focus and the player being targeted must also have good quality, at least being able to replace Benzema role.
