If you look at the conditions, it seems that he is only prioritized as a substitute for Mariano and indeed his chances are quite small.
He did that at Madrid a few years ago but he was really out of competition and now it won't change anything so in this case it will obviously be very difficult for Madrid to only make moves as substitutes for Benzema, Hazard and Mariano with only Diaz and Joselu.
16 goals in 34 matches is actually quite good but it should be realized that the conditions of Espanyol and Madrid are clearly different, especially in terms of player competition.
Signing Dusan Vlahovic is actually quite good in my opinion but coming back in this case they have to compete and of course have to prepare an obviously big price because if I'm not mistaken seeing the current rumors Bayern also want this player.
That is also what I heard about Bayern and Vlahovic. Interestingly, both clubs need a striker so urgently that juventus could even benefit from selling him. His contract will run until 2026 so no matter which club is trying to sign him, this will be a costly transaction for sure. At the same time Juventus can't just start selling their best players while also planning to make a comeback next season. There are a few names out there that will create some great rumors and news in the coming weeks. But there is also a lot of patience needed because when Real Madrid is now willing to make a move, the timing also has to be right. What if Mbappe is a potential transfer out of a sudden? All the teams are now waiting for others to make their move as well and Real Madrid and Bayern have to solve the striker issue urgently.
