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.
Currently, both clubs Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are facing same problems just because of these priories are also same with both have rejected Tottenham asking price for the Harry Kane and now both are fighting for the Vlahović which is possible going to be in favor of any club as Juventus is now having troubles so most chances they will also sell him but who is going to be winner it's not easy but for me here Real Madrid which is already suffering due to Mbappé can do much better and have to take this player which is surely better option for them if Mbappé is not coming in this season with most chances in coming season things will be also not clear.
We have the good number of strikers which are coming to be intention with just transfer window is coming, and good thing is happening most of the old are going out from European clubs thanks to Saudis League as now many youngsters can join good clubs and give their best as well.
There are some new reports that are actually quite interesting to discuss in my opinion.
After Madrid finished bringing in Joselu on loan from Espanyol president Perez said that he would be the final signing for Madrid and this could mean that there will be no further additions for the striker now as they are satisfied with the current squad.
I actually find it quite strange, did they really not learn from their previous mistakes with this? even though the players who are coming now I don't doubt that but with Brahim Diaz and Joselu who are the axis of attack now are they sure about that as a substitute for Benzema for the targetman there? I personally feel this is still lacking because compared to other strikers they have chased before like Kane or Vlahovic it is clear they have more instinct and great potential than Joselu.
