The leaders of Real Madrid have begun to think about a long-term replacement at the Santiago Bernabeu, for Karim Benzema. The 35-year-old striker is at the end of his career and despite his spectacular form in recent seasons, Real Madrid must think about the future. Especially considering the fact that coach Carlo Ancelotti has limited options in the center of attack.
The Italian technician relied on the Brazilian Rodrygo Goes while Karim Benzema was injured. However, Goes is not a typical center forward, and the Galaxy need more safety. But who are the potential replacements for Karim Benzema? The managers of the Madrid club are thought to be following two main tracks, it is about the Serbian Vlahovic of Juventus, as well as Richarlison of Tottenham.
Vlahovic has not yet adapted properly to Juventus, who are having a difficult season this year in Serie A. The "Old Lady" was punished with the removal of 15 points in the ranking by the Italian football authorities and in all likelihood he will have quite difficult to qualify for the Champions League next season. This development has been quite disappointing for Vlahovic, who at the same time is thought to be a fan of Real Madrid, which could help in his transfer to Spain.
Richarlison on the other hand is a more complicated target, as the main problem remains the price of the player's card. Tottenham paid a whopping €58 million for his services last summer, and the Londoners won't ask for anything less than that for the Brazilian. The leaders of Real Madrid adore both players, but are also exploring other options to have as many alternatives as possible.
We remind you that Benzema is on the verge of finalizing his contract with Madrid until 2024, while the only other center forward in the team is Mariano Diaz, who is expected to leave Real in the summer.
