Real Madrid will have to sign a new striker in the next transfer window to replace Karim Benzema, who will leave them at the end of the season. Harry Kane, Dusan Vlahovic, Kai Havertz and Kolo Muani are the main contenders.

Real Madrid need a new star striker for next campaign as Karim Benzema has decided not to renew his contract and leave Los Blancos at the end of the season. The board are considering several alternatives to replace the Frenchman.

Harry Kane

England's top goalscorer is on the Spanish side's radar. The 29-year-old is their top priority as the Madrid board think he could be the best replacement for Benzema.

Harry Kane has spent nine seasons playing for Tottenham Hotspur's first team but he would like to find a new destination for next season. Spurs have failed to win any silverware this campaign and the Englishman believes his superb performances are being wasted.

The England international has a contract with the English side until 2024 but he does not rule out a move in the summer. Manchester United were the main contenders to sign the England striker but Real Madrid joined the race.

Nevertheless, Daniel Levy's club would only let the Englishman leave for 115 million euros. As a result, Madrid could look for a cheaper alternative.

Kai Havertz

The German joined Chelsea for the 2020-21 season and, despite being one of the best strikers in the Chelsea squad, has not had many opportunities this season.

According to 'Relevo', Havertz is well-liked by Florentino Perez and the club sees this operation as much more feasible and cheaper than that of the Spurs frontman

His contract with the Blues expires in 2025 but the Spanish board are willing to pay his buyout clause and sign him for 90 million euros. Furthermore, his trasnfer would be strategic because of the way he plays.

On the one hand, he would fill the gap left by Asensio, as he can play in any position up front, either on either of the two wings or in the center as a false '9', and he would also not crowd the striker position.

Dusan Vlahovic

Vlahovic looks set to be the man to leave several million euros in the coffers at Juventus. His performances are incredible despite not having had his best season in Serie A.

The striker has scored 14 goals for the Italian side in the 2022-23 season. Several clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich are also keeping an eye on his situation.

Real Madrid are very interested in signing him to replace the Frenchman as his transfer would cost 60 million euros

Randal Kolo Muani

The French striker is in the spotlight as he has performed amazingly for Eintracht Frankfurt this campaign, scoring 23 goals and providing 14 assists.

Moreover, his transfer would cost as little as 25 million euros. As a result, several clubs are in the race for the 24-year-old.

The Spanish giants will have to make a good offer if they want Kolo Muani to play for Real Madrid next season.
