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.

Benzema was the main striker of Real Madrid. So losing Benzema will definitely weaken Madrid's attack. However, Ancelotti chose Joselu as a replacement for Benzema. Joselu is nothing to ignore. He is a very talented player. He managed to score a lot of goals even against a team as weak as Espanyol. So I would say if Joselu can adapt himself well to the Madrid squad he should be able to score a lot of goals.

Madrid management does not want to rush to get Mbappe into the team. They definitely need a talented striker. But it is also important to consider whether Mbappe is suited to Ancelotti's strategy. I wouldn't be too surprised if Ancelotti doesn't include Mbappe in his match plan. Because Mbappe plays a bit selfishly. He does not want to cooperate with his teammates.

Joselu is good for only the La Liga not for the Champions League. I don't think he is quality enough to take a big responsibility in Champions League games to bring success to the team. Real Madrid's aim is to win the Champions League title every year. They need to build a squad according to that as a result.

There is a huge gap between Joselu and Benzema at this point. I think Real Madrid should definitely make a much more reliable striker transfer for the Champions League before the season starts. Otherwise Vinicius Junior will have even a bigger responsibility in Champions League games.

Yes, Joselu can't take the big responsibility in Champions League games. He can't replace Benzema. Ancelotti just put Joselu on temporary substitute status. As for Vlahovic, he is not on Real Madrid's radar. Harry Kane would be a good choice to replace Benzema, but Real Madrid may have put all their efforts into preparing for a super blockbuster transfer to bring Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu. This is a perfect alternative that couldn't be better. Mbappe can bring the royal team Real Madrid back to the era of European dominance, just like Cristiano Ronaldo did.
