Real Madrid have gone on their pre-season tour of the United States of America with only one natural centre-forward in their ranks – new signing Joselu.
TheMerengueslost former captain and champion goalscorer Karim Benzema this summer and also parted ways with Mariano Diaz. But, so far, they have only bɾօυɢҺt in Joselu thus far to reinforce their No. 9 position.
Real Madrid are waiting to see if a move for Kylian Mbappe can be completed, but the player remainsreluctant to leave PSG this summerand wants to joinLos Blancosas a free agent next year. In fact, he will now be travelling to Japan for the Parisian giants’ pre-season camp.
It may have compelledReal Madridto look at other options to fill the void left by Benzema immediately.
As such, Sky Sport Italia (h/t GOAL Italy) is ɾєρօɾτing thatReal Madridhave made an enquiry for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic recently by making an exploratory call to check on the Serbian hitman’s availability.
Juventus are looking to make some sales this summer due to their delicate financial situation and Vlahovic, whose current market value stands at €70 million, is among the players who would be allowed to leave if a big offer comes along.
There have been talks of PSG taking an interest in the 23-year-old striker, while Bayern Munich have also been linked with him, although the latter appear to be focused on Harry Kane at this point.
And with PSG not making concrete moves for Vlahovic yet, Juventus remain on the lookout for suitors for their prized asset. Amidst this,Real Madridhave made a call to lodge an enquiry for the former Fiorentina centre-forward.
Since joining Juventus from Fiorentina in January last year for €81 million, Vlahovic has scored 23 goals and set up six more in 63 matches. Although, it must be remembered that he was playing for a Juve team that was all over the place last season.
The Serbian’s ability is not in question, but Juventus want a big fee for his services. And with PSG also in the picture, it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid’s enquiry leads to something substantial in the coming days.
