The priority for Real Madrid right now is the need for Strikers. After Benzema's departure from the team, they still could not transfer a quality name to this region. They do not have big problems in defense, but of course, they may want to transfer to the defense. I think they should devote the budget to striker transfers instead. Joselu can be a good backup striker and needs a star striker.
As I have often discussed in previous posts, the fact is that we did not see Madrid being active in this summer's transfer window. especially, after they signed Joselu. in fact, the fact is that Madrid prefers to recruit midfielders and one of them is Arda Guler. After that, we rarely hear rumors that Don Carlo will be eyeing a striker who will succeed Karim Benzema.
Well, I have said in the previous post. it seems, Madrid has another scenario. it could be, Madrid actually has a pre-contract agreement with Mbeppe for the 2024 season. or, Madrid is planning another scenario. it could also be, Madrid has prepared to make its bid to PSG for Mbappe. for sure, this summer transfer window still has a time lag. all possibilities can happen, it's even possible if Madrid really won't bring in a potential successor to succeeding Benzema other than Joselu. there are no other words, other than we just have to wait at least until this summer's transfer window has closed.
That make sense but according to what I know Real madrid expect Kylian Mbappe to join this club but seems to prefer to wait to get it for free and currently prefer to recruit young players to train and create new, stronger talent like this Arda Guler.
The problem right now is indeed very complicated that Mbappe experiencing with his own club and I agree if you say maybe Real Madrid and Mbappe have secretly agree to join and wait one year until his contract expires.
I just can't imagine if Kylian Mbappe actually does join Real Madrid how strong this club is and it is very possible to shift Barcelona position and be able to compete strongly with City in the champions league later.
But let see what will happen later because this news is full of uncertainties
