Real Madrid is tracking Tottenham Hotspur winger Richarlison and Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as transfer options during the summer, sources revealed on Tuesday. Los Blancos are looking to strengthen their attacking lineup before next season.
Currently, the reigning Champions League victors are relying on 35-year-old Karim Benzema to lead the attack. With Benzema’s longevity brought into question due to his age, the French striker’s ongoing injury struggles have led Real Madrid to use Rodrygo Goes as a replacement; a player who is not a natural center forward.
With a one-year contract extension on the table, Benzema is not yet guaranteed to remain at Real Madrid through 2024. The only other natural striker in the Galacticos lineup is Mariano Diaz, whose contract will be allowed to lapse in June after he fell out of favor with manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Aside from the two forward options, Real Madrid is also looking at strengthening their depth on the flanks, particularly as the future of right winger Marco Asensio remains uncertain. Among the potential replacements who are being considered is Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman, however, the team may decide to rely on alternatives Rodrygo and Federico Valverde.
