Eager to recruit a new number 9, Real Madrid are keen on a Premier League striker who will not continue his career on the other side of the Channel.
Last Friday, Carlo Ancelotti had fun at a press conference with a question about the next summer transfer window and the prospect of seeing an attacker join his group in the offseason. “We are on it. We will work to improve the squad. Talking about names doesn’t seem fair to me. I like Joselu, like other strikers. I like Aspas, Morata… To speak of the Spaniards. Usually you like the striker who scores goals.” But the statement of the Italian coach of Real Madrid had at least the merit of confirming the desire of Merengue to secure the services of a new number 9.
111 goals in 362 games
La Casa Blanca are actively preparing the succession of French striker Karim Benzema. If it remains essential, the Ballon d’Or 2022 no longer embodies the future of the last winner of the Champions League, overtaken this season by FC Barcelona in La Liga and eliminated by Manchester City in the semi-finals of the C1. And among the leads considered by Real Madrid, one of them leads to a Premier League striker who will not continue his career with his current employer. According to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano relayed by the newspaper acethe White House is eyeing Roberto Firmino.
Free on June 30, the Brazilian striker from Liverpool will not return to Anfield, a departure that the club on the banks of the Mersey communicated even before the epilogue of the 2022-2023 season, in the same way as Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The native of Maceio, 111 goals in 362 games since joining the Reds in the summer of 2015 from Hoffenheim, will have the advantage of not costing a penny. Moreover, its characteristics close to those of the former Lyonnais can constitute a solid argument for its arrival on the other side of the Pyrenees.
