Real Madrid have already begun making preparations for the next season, despite the fact that the summer transfer market of 2023 has not yet closed.
After parting company with Karim Benzema and deciding not to replace him this summer, acquiring a new striker has quickly risen to the top of the priority list.
And despite the fact that the French forward will be a free agent in 2019, Kylian Mbappe continues to hold the top spot on Los Blancos’ transfer wishlist.
On the other hand, there is a significant chance that he will want to extend his current deal with PSG. In that scenario, different plans will need to be formulated.
Erling Haaland, who plays for Manchester City and is believed to have a release clause in his contract that will become active the following year, is the most apparent candidate to fill this role.
Is Julian Alvarez a player Real Madrid might consider?
However, a recent rumor from Fichajes claims that Real Madrid have shown interest in Haaland’s Manchester City colleague Julian Alvarez and are evaluating him as an alternative to improve the attack. This news comes on the heels of an earlier report that said Real Madrid had shown interest in Haaland.
The Cityzens acquired the 23-year-old player from River Plate in January 2022. Prior to joining the club, he was on loan in Argentina for a period of six months before making his way there in the summer of the previous year.
Since then, he has played a total of 55 times for Pep Guardiola’s team, during which time he has scored 19 goals and registered eight assists, despite the fact that the majority of his appearances have been in the role of a substitute.
According to the aforementioned source, Manchester City are reportedly interested in making a bid for Brighton’s Evan Ferguson. This might put Alvarez’s job at the Etihad Stadium in peril, which could possibly open the door for him to leave the club.
A new deal was just signed by Alvarez lately.
When taking into consideration that Alvarez signed a new deal with Manchester City in March of this year, committing to the club until 2028, the news has to be treated with a grain of salt.
Because the 23-year-old is also gaining more of a prominent role in Guardiola’s system, it is very unlikely that Manchester City would allow him to leave the club unless an incredible offer is presented.
Florentino Perez is expected to look for a bigger headline figure to become the club’s new No. 9 in the next year. Despite the fact that Alvarez’s age and potential make him an intriguing target for Real Madrid, Florentino Perez is likely to pursue another player.
