Madrid thinking of signing an experienced '9' as Benzema's substitute

Real Madrid have been left without Mbappe after he renewed his contract with PSG. The idea of Real Madrid was not to sign another striker other than the Frenchman after the magnificent season of Karim Benzema. Moreover, this has already been confirmed by Florentino Perez.

"We have the best '9' in the world and we weren't going to bring Haaland to have him on the bench", he explained on 'El Chiringuito' to justify not signing the Norwegian or any other striker. For their part, the club are doing everything they can to sell Luka Jovic and Mariano.

The Serbian seems to be close to Fiorentina, but his salary is the big problem. The case of the youth academy player is more complex, as it has stalled, despite the fact that Sevilla have once again shown interest. The options for the bench are between Mayoral and Latasa.

However, 'Sport' reported that the recent European champions are considering the idea of bringing in a experienced striker to complement Benzema in the rotations. The aforementioned media outlet gave the name of Edin Dzeko, who has lost his place at Inter at the age of 36.

He has a contract until 2023 and his market value is up to four million euros, although the Italian club could release him. It would be a guaranteed option, as the Bosnian scored 17 goals last season as a substitute.

If Ancelotti agrees, the former Roma man could join the Bernabeu in a secondary role to complement an attacking front line that has Benzema as the undisputed leader.
