Real Madrid is choosing between two strikers to succeed Benzema.. one of the is a well known killer
Real Madrid announced, in an official statement, the departure of its French striker, Karim Benzema, after the end of his contract, and it is known that he will go to play in the Saudi club Ittihad Jeddah, with a fabulous salary.
Therefore, Marca newspaper said that Florentino Perez is choosing between two strikers, one of whom will replace Benzema, and confirmed that they have the approval of Carlo Ancelotti.
In the Madrid entity, the final decision of the French player was not surprising, as they have been working for several days with the possibility of finding a new striker to replace the captain who took over the White Ship during the last season.
Joselu’s pending arrival, has nothing to do with the Frenchman’s departure. The Espanyol forward will replace Mariano Diaz and will complement the new No. 9 striker and play a secondary role.
“The killer” Harry Kane
The name Harry Kane has already been present in many of the meetings in Valdebebas in recent days. He is the favorite of both Carlo Ancelotti and the sports management.
They see Kane as an immediate performer and can continue to play three or four seasons in the elite. The big difference from previous seasons with regards to the England international is that on this occasion Daniel Levy appears ready to strike a deal, as long as the destination is not another Premier League club.
Real Madrid has already made the first contacts with agents, both with the player and with Tottenham. They know that Kane is about to start a trial in La Liga along with the opportunity the Whites are offering him. The news that he wanted to continue in the Premier League does not correspond to reality, because he always wanted to wear the Madrid shirt.
Levy is not a simple negotiator, as he has already made clear in the cases of Modric and Bale. What’s more, Real Madrid have not wanted to know anything about Tottenham for this reason for a long time, but now circumstances have changed and the prospect of Kane’s arrival is not just hope.
Another alternative discussed at Valdebebas is Kai Havertz who could play as a striker without his usual position. He’s used to hopping between the lines, and is the perfect complement to the number nine striker.
