Real Madrid Immediately Looking for a Replacement for Karim Benzema, Compatriot Lionel Messi Becomes a Target
Real Madrid are reportedly looking for a replacement for Karim Benzema . Compatriot Lionel Messi has also become the target of Los Blancos.
Karim Benzema has been a mainstay of Real Madrid's front lines .
In the 2021-2022 season, Benzema successfully won the Spanish League and Champions League trophies to Real Madrid .
Not only that, the French striker also won the 2022 Ballon d'Or award.
Benzema's contract at Real Madrid will also expire on 30 June 2023.
Reportedly, Benzema will extend his contract for another year until 2024.
However, with the age of 35 years, the bomber may no longer be a mainstay of Los Blancos next season.
As a result, Real Madrid began looking for a replacement for Benzema as their future striker.
Reported by BolaSport.com from El Nacional, Real Madrid are reportedly interested in recruiting AS Roma striker, Paulo Dybala .
Real Madrid are interested in making Dybala a substitute for Benzema.
The plan is for Los Blancos to be interested in activating Dybala's release clause at AS Roma.
I Lupi himself has set a release clause of 12 million euros (equivalent to Rp. 196 billion) if a club outside Italy wants to sign Lionel Messi's compatriot .
Real Madrid are already planning to sign Brazilian wonderkid Endrick Felipe in 2024.
However, it is unlikely that El Real will depend on their front line on the winger who will only be 18 years old.
Therefore, Real Madrid are interested in signing Dybala.
Dybala has indeed performed well with AS Roma throughout the 2022-2023 season.
The Argentine striker has made 34 appearances with 16 goals and 8 assists for AS Roma.
Dybala also managed to bring AS Roma to reach the semifinals of the Europa League this season.
