I believe Real Madrid does not have a big problem with the striker. Joselu can certainly do the work for Real Madrid. But is it going to be good enough? Benzema was a one season wonder for Real Madrid. He was not able to perform well in the last season and Real Madrid suffered a lot. I also think that Real Madrid was counting on Benzema, a little too much to be honest.
Of course, it would be better for Real Madrid if they can get Mbappé, Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen. But the problem is Victor Osimhen is not leaving napoli. Tottenham is trying hard not to sell Harry Kane and that’s why they are giving him a huge price tag. And we all love the drama around Mbappé. I think Joselu will be above average for Real Madrid. But I don’t think being above-average is going to be enough for Real Madrid.
Maybe there's something Ancelotti sees in Joselu that made him sign him into the Realmadrid squad, because I don't see him coming close to the standard of the previous striker, well I won't write him off yet but there's this doubt I have about him and I feel they might add another striker to attacking force of the squad because if they're thinking of a long term attacker then Joselu is not the man for that role, he might only play a season or two and if his performance are good enough maybe would be given to play for a third season before being sold out.
I expect Realmadrid to be the front runners of Harry Kane pursuit but it came as a surprise to me knowing they got Joselu instead, though Kane is very close to 30 but he's a fantastic striker, good goal getter and a proven a worthy fit to be the top 9 of any high ranking European team, the only advantage Joselu has over Kane is the experience in the Spanish league and doubts of whether Kane would adapt to the Spanish league, if not he's no where close to Harry Kane, who is capable of causing damage to the defence of an opposition team, and has powerful shots that leads to goals
Real Madrid has made the decision not to pursue Harry Kane, primarily due to Tottenham's exorbitant asking price. That is just not value for money for Real Madrid. That is why they are not going to go for Harry Kane. And I also believe that Bayern Munich has already given a big offer for Harry Kane. It is just not going to be worth it at this moment to go after Harry Kane. And of course, Real Madrid can always find a player who is more value for money.
Joselu needs to adapt before he becomes a core player and that's why it takes one other striker as the main player for Real Madrid, so Joselu will learn to adapt to the team and will try to improve his performance slowly. Mbappé, Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen has not yet gotten a picture of the future of the three in the next season, because it is too complicated to the negotiation process of the three players with their respective clubs.
If in the next season the three players are not successfully brought to the Bernabeu, the available options are only Joselu and want or not Ancelotti must maximize the available players, if it is like that and there is no other way for Ancelotti. The transfer market is currently a lot of drama that occurs and the class of Real Madrid which is usually quite easy to bring in players to be dizzy because of the difficulty of reaching an agreement.
It's quite intriguing how individuals have contrasting opinions, but in my personal view, Real Madrid appears to be excessively reliant on Joselu. I don’t know what Real Madrid actually have seen in him that make them decide him to be the main striker of the team. But I think that decision might actually backfire. But at the same time we have also seen some unknown players call into Real Madrid, one of the best. I don’t think he will be able to become one of the first in the world, but he will certainly improve.
