Real Madrid want to solve the striker problem after the departure of Karim Benzema, but Los Blancos face a difficult task. The Spanish press writes that “Real” and “Chelsea” are fighting for the transfer of the forward, who won the World Cup with Argentina.

The departure of Karim Benzema raises questions for “Real” about the position of the striker next season.

At first, it was about the option of Harry Kane (“Tottenham Hotspur”), but the journalists of Mundo Deportivo write that Madrid switched their attention to the Argentinian footballer “Inter” Lautaro Martinez.

With 28 goals this season for Inter in all competitions, Lautaro Martinez is the most wanted player in Simone Inzaghi’s squad.

Lautaro Martinez, who is valued at €80 million according to Transfermarkt, is not the only player on Real Madrid’s roster.

Argentina World Cup winner El Toro also wants Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea.

Lautaro Martinez’s contract with Inter expires in the summer of 2026, so it remains to be seen whether the two clubs will buy him from Inter.
