Another candidate emerges to cover Benzema's absence at Real Madrid, and it's not Mbappé

Real Madrid has been on edge since Kylian Mbappé's decision not to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain became known. Rumors and speculations point to a possible signing of the French forward by the Merengue club, but his departure is not yet fully defined.

Mbappé has expressed his desire to stay until the end of his contract in 2024 and then leave on a free transfer, but PSG has made it clear that if he doesn't renew, they will sell him. In the face of this back-and-forth of statements, Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez is waiting to see what might happen, although his room for maneuver is limited.

PSG authorities are already preparing to sell the player to any team willing to make an offer, although a definitive decision has not yet been made, causing uncertainty in the sports management of Real Madrid.

Additionally, the club faces the need to sign a new striker following Karim Benzema's departure. Real Madrid scouts have been tirelessly working to find possible reinforcements who can fill the void left by Benzema's departure from the club.

He could be the new forward

Aware of the need to incorporate a quality forward, the name of Victor Osimhen has been put on the table. According to Sky Sports, meetings could take place in the next few hours to discuss the possibility of signing the Napoli player.
