Of course I agree with that, but currently I don't know who is a great striker who is worthy of replacing Benzema in the team when Real Madrid only has Joselu as a center forward. I know Real Madrid can bring in the players they are looking for, but so far they haven't done so and have chosen to withdraw from the transfer market.
I think it is a well known fact that Real Madrid did not spend heavily on a striker this summer because they are waiting to sign talisman Mbappe from PSG in the next summer transfer window.
That might be true only if mbappe does not extend his contract in PSG for another year but what if mbappe does U turn to extend his contract? Real madrid is not always putting its focus on mbappe. There have been so many important things than mbappe like renovating its stadion with very big budget. Just because it was spending small amounts of money didn't mean if it will always be related to the mbappe. Madrid needs to control its money efficiently.
The club was under 1 billion debt after it has been taking such debt to renovating its stadium. It's another big project owned by madrid. Buying mbappe without calculation will be only increasing its salary cap and madrid is gonna face trouble like barcelona
and this is why Joselu was signed as a stop gap. Instead, Madrid invested in their midfield options heavily; as they prepare to let go of Modric and Kroos in the coming season.
Joselu was an alternative for benzema. He has performed so well last season in espanyol. He was also very cheap. Madrid got two advantages at the same time by recruiting him to the club.
Madrid already had great midfielders before Bellingham came, but they don't need someone as versatile as him..
