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. 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.

Real Madrid have strengthened all their positions but they have only left the main striker position empty as they might be waiting for Mbappe as they plan to sign Mbappe from PSG next season. If they can get one of the best strikers by waiting a season, they should wait a season. Real Madrid is one of the best teams in Europe, so they must employ the best players in the best positions. If they want to sign Mbappe next season then investing money behind the striker this season will not be a good decision for Real Madrid which is why they are waiting for Mbappe. Imagine how much stronger Real Madrid's striking position would be if Mbappe joined Real Madrid.

The vacancy in the Striker position due to being too confident in being able to bring in Mbappe in the last transfer market, Real Madrid is too focused on Mbappe and they are very confident that they can bring him in, especially since the relationship between Mbappe and PSG is increasingly fractious, making Real Madrid not look for other alternatives. Real Madrid will have to spend a large amount of money if they want to bring in Mbappe next season.
Real Madrid's back line and midfield are very solid, they only need the support of a top striker to complete their squad. I think money is no problem for Real Madrid, but the current conditions make Real Madrid very vulnerable to achieving maximum results, player injuries are one of the problems that can affect Real Madrid's performance, as has just happened to Vinicius.

The whole team of Real Madrid is very strong. The only weakness in their squad is their lack of experienced strikers. Even so, Madrid have been able to perform very well without an experienced striker so far. Because Bellingham is in great form and scoring a lot of goals. But he is basically a midfielder. So Bellingham shouldn't be expected to play well and score goals on a regular basis. Madrid need to find an experienced striker. Also now Vinicius is injured. Without Vini in the squad, Madrid's attacking performance will be further weakened. Moreover, as Madrid look to continue their good performances in the Champions League, it will be much more difficult without the experienced striker. There is no doubt that Ancelotti's match strategy is good. However, it is essential to have an experienced striker in the squad if we want to continue to perform consistently well on a platform like the Champions League.
