Real Madrid are at their lowest ebb since the start of the season. The team has been saving games, but the continued absence of Benzema has set off all the alarm bells due to the lack of goals. Carlo Ancelotti, who has never asked for reinforcements due to the club's financial restraint, has already told Florentino Pérez of the need to bring forward the arrival of a striker to try to compete for all the titles after the World Cup.

The coach believes they were wrong not to bring in Gabriel Jesus this summer and could pay dearly for it. Florentino Pérez bid for Mbappé this summer, but in the end the France international decided to renew his contract with PSG and did not even consider the arrival of a 'nine' despite Jovic's departure. Madrid did have real options to sign Gabriel Jesus but there was no quorum and the Brazilian is coming through at Arsenal.

They also had the offer of Raúl de Tomás, but the reports were not convincing after his controversies at Espanyol and the striker has ended up at Rayo Vallecano. Madrid's management area is assessing market options to advance an operation that in the summer will be more than necessary. But Florentino Pérez is clear that the operation should not be large, pending what might happen in the future with Mbappé or Haaland. And the president is still obsessed with getting one of these two players as he considers that they can mark an era in European football.

On the table, the club has the option of a Brazilian pearl and also Osimhen (Napoli) or Leao (Milan). It remains to be seen whether Ancelotti will finally go with what he has and make do or push for a new signing. The coach is mindful of what happened to him during his previous spell at Madrid, when he was not re-signed and ended up leaving through the back door.

Oshimen or Leao

There is a very good relationship with Florentino Perez and it is clear that the club cannot rely on an injury to Benzema to save the season or not. One of the key steps to bring in an attacker would be the departure of Hazard on a free transfer in order to save his million-dollar fee.
