Indeed, Real Madrid needs a center forward which can be as reliable striker. Although for next 2024 Real Madrid already has a good plans, they will have a talented young players from Brazil I mean Endrick Felipe on paper could join Real Madrid in July 2024. But they still need an experienced striker, Mbappe has the possibility of joining there with a free transfer in 2024 season, if according to plan Real Madrid will become a dangerous club.
Basically, Modric and Kroos will not be at Real Madrid for long, and I think they are also lucky enough to be there working together for one more season. Moreover, they have now brought in a center player who is believed to be projected to replace the position of these 2 senior players.
I think we will all agree that one of the positions they really need right now is a center forward who can be the difference in every match. It's difficult to find someone who can replace Benzema.
Now Mbappe is a player who has been heavily linked with them, and if the deal happens, it will fill their much talked about gap.
What is strong now is their midfield, the youngsters, seniors and new signings are a promising collaboration.
Modric and Kroos are still very much needed for El Real's young squad. because after all, the experience they have will be useful for their junior colleagues, especially for midfielders. that's why, Madrid still entrusts them to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu, even if it's only for one season. however, with Ancelotti having so many options in midfield, automatically these two veteran players will not always be the main starters in every Madrid game. but it doesn't seem to be a problem for both Modric and Kroos, because they really uphold their loyalty to the club.
For the center forward position actually Madrid have many options if they want it, but they only borrow Joselu from Espanyol. isn't this a little strange, even though Madrid has very good finances even though they have poured out large funds just for Bellingham. whereas, Madrid could have brought in Osimhen. IMO, Osimhen could be an ideal choice for a centre-forward position, it could also be that Madrid brought Kane from Spurs, but they didn't do that either.
So, it is only natural that Madrid is actually waiting for Mbappe to leave after his contract period ends. with that scenario, they could get the star for free. isn't this a quite logical scenario, even if we have to speculate by borrowing Joselu.
Even so, we'll see how Madrid hasn't shown their best this season.
