- Possible Replacements For Karim Banzema, From The Least Realistic To The Ideal Option
Carlo Ancelotti has stated that Real Madrid will be looking to bring in a high-profile striker this summer. He also went further to talk about some characteristics they will want in their new striker.
Ancelotti wants a striker who is as comfortable in possession as Karim Benzema. A striker that is lethal in front of goal, but can also link up properly, so let’s have a look at some options.
Dušan Vlahović – Juventus’s Dušan Vlahović has been linked with a move to the Premier League this season. The former Fiorentina man has endured a mixed season with the Old Lady.
Vlahović is a younger option if Real Madrid want a striker with immense potential. The Serb’s hold up and link up play is good, but not on the level of what Karim Benzema did upfront for Real Madrid. He could be an option if deals for other targets fail.
Victor Osimhen
One of the best strikers in the World already at 24. Osimhen is explosive, but is still lacking in terms of quality link-up play. He is more suited to the target man role where he can hold up play, and solely rely on service of others in attack to function properly.
Lautaro Martinez
Lautaro Martinez fits what Real Madrid are looking for. He is able to play off the shoulder of defenders, create chances by himself, and is also a good finisher. Lautaro Will welcome a move to Real Madrid, but it will take a lot to prize him away from Inter Milan.
Ideal Signing – Harry Kane
The best fit for the position. Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the World, but he doesn’t just score goals. The English striker is the complete package. He can link up with midfielders just fine, he can score goals consistently, he can create chances, and also help out when the team needs to defend, a well-rounded player.
Kane is expected to leave Tottenham this summer, and a move to Real Madrid will make sense for him. Another concern is his age, but If Real Madrid feel they can get a good 3–4 years out of him, then it makes sense.
