Karim Benzema is coming to the end of his contract with Real Madrid and the injuries he has suffered this season have forced the club’s management at the Santiago Bernabeu to consider bringing in a new striker for a starting role.

Dusan Vlahovic, Florentino Perez’s favorite – Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland, backup and very expensive options

Karim Benzema has already been injured 7 times this season and Real Madrid have suffered without France’s top scorer in the starting XI.

The 2022 Ballon d’Or winner was instrumental last season for Los Blancos as they won the Spanish title and the UEFA Champions League.

At the age of 35, Karim Benzema is quite sensitive and has been injured quite often this season.

According to the journalists of Transfer News Live, Florentino Perez is considering the possibility of attracting another forward to the starting position in “Real”.

His favorite is Dushan Vlahovych, the striker of the Turin “Juventus”. The 23-year-old Serbian star would be the best option from a financial point of view as well.

Given that Juventus is going through a bad period from a financial point of view, the transfer could take place for less than 100 million euros. According to Transfermarkt, he is valued at 88 million euros.

The Spanish champions are also considering Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, but both options involve huge costs in the event of a potential transfer.

Recently, representatives of PSG said that they will not give Kylian Mbappe for an amount lower than 200 million euros.

However, Erling Haaland would also be a very expensive option given that he is under contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2027.
