The player catching Florentino Pérez's attention to be Real Madrid's new signing

Real Madrid experienced a weekend full of emotions and movements in their squad. Within a span of 24 hours, the club announced four departures, two of which were expected and supported by the institution, such as Mariano and Eden Hazard. However, the other two departures have disrupted the team's plans for the summer transfer market.

Real Madrid will need to make quick and accurate decisions to replace two key players in their squad. The departures of Benzema and Asensio open up new opportunities and challenges in the transfer market, and the club's management is determined to find the best talents to maintain competitiveness and achieve their objectives in the upcoming season.

The absence of Karim Benzema has had a significant impact as the French striker did not have a direct replacement in the squad. On the other hand, Marco Asensio, who had lost prominence under Ancelotti's management, appears to have a new destination in Europe, with PSG.

The absence of Benzema poses a challenge for Real Madrid as they will need to find a suitable substitute in the market. Although Brahim Díaz is seen as an internal option, his performance on the wing has not been convincing, making Samuel Chukwueze a more solid alternative. The club has the Nigerian winger in mind, who has excelled with Villarreal and is considered a true specialist in his position.

The leading candidate

While Brahim Díaz may stay with the team, the search for a player with more similar characteristics to Asensio becomes necessary. Real Madrid considers Chukwueze as one of the top candidates to fill the void left by the talented Spanish winger. Florentino Pérez had already shown interest in the young Nigerian for months, and his outstanding season with Villarreal strengthens his candidacy.
