Smile, Florentino! Real Madrid already has a replacement for Benzema at half the price

Real Madrid is evaluating different options to strengthen their squad, especially in light of the uncertainty surrounding Kylian Mbappé. Aware of the need to fill the void left by Benzema, the Madrid board has set their sights on Karim Adeyemi, the German international currently playing for Borussia Dortmund.

Adeyemi stands out for his speed in space and his ability to dribble the ball. His versatility allows him to play both as a center forward and on the wings, which could fill two vacancies in the team.

His explosiveness resembles that of players like Vinícius, Rodrygo, Fede Valverde, or Fran García, which fits perfectly with the energy sought by coach Carlo Ancelotti. In the current season, the young talent has scored 9 goals and provided 6 assists in 32 matches.

However, the signing of Adeyemi would require a significant financial outlay for Real Madrid. The club has already experienced tough negotiations with Borussia Dortmund, which is reluctant to sell its players unless it's for a considerable sum.

<br/>It will be challenging

In the case of Bellingham, his transfer fee amounted to 100 million EUR plus 30 million in variables. In this regard, the price for Adeyemi would be around 80 million EUR, a figure that could make Madrid hesitate. While it is true that the club did not pay 60 million EUR for Havertz in the past, it is even less likely that they would pay a higher amount for a less established player.
