Real Madrid are really much weaker without a striker like Benzema now. That's why I'm seeing it certain that Real Madrid will bring a decent centre-forward this summer. But I don't understand why they aren't interested in Vlahovic while PSG are about to finish the signing soon. I believe he is one of the best alternatives for Real Madrid for this season.
I don't know maybe they don't want to rush this transfer in case something happens about Mbappe's situation. In the end we can still see another team trying to sign Mbappe by making a huge offer. In that case Real Madrid would like to save their funds for Mbappe transfer as they will need to spend insane amount of money.
Actually there is quite surprising news about Real Madrid and Mbappe recently. One news site stated that there was leaked information from one of the Real Madrid staff who said that Mbappe would be ready to be introduced at Real Madrid at the beginning of next month. But these are just rumours. but it would be really fun if the rumors were true. Because with this news the puzzle is that PSG are in a hurry to hunt for a new striker, like PSG who are suddenly interested in Dusan Vlahovic and several other strikers. makes me think that this is all related. But now PSG will still wait until the end of July for Mbappe to decide again about his future at PSG. If Mbappe remains steadfast in his stance that he will not renew his contract at PSG, then he said PSG will indeed release Mbappe before his contract expires.
