The significant injury to Vinicius Jr. has impacted Real Madrid’s attacking efforts.
The Brazilian international is anticipated to be out until February 2024, leaving Carlo Ancelotti’s club with just Joselu and Rodrygo as senior attacking options.
Given the team’s objectives, such a move would be unwise. Despite reports that Real Madrid have no intentions to bolster their offensive in January, fresh research says otherwise.
Mauro Icardi is a target for Real Madrid.
Indeed, according to Mundo Deportivo in Italy, Real Madrid are contemplating signing Mauro Icardi from Galatasaray in the January transfer window.
Icardi, 30, joined Galatasaray on loan from PSG in 2022 before making the move permanent last summer.
This season, the Argentine center-forward has been a steady supplier of goals for the Turkish giants, scoring 15 times in 20 appearances across all competitions.
Icardi, a wonderfully experienced player at the highest level, has already been linked with Real Madrid and is now a likely target for them once again.
Icardi would cost €15 million
According to the rumor, Real Madrid might recruit Icardi for a relatively low sum of €15 million during the January transfer window.
The sum is unlikely to pose a problem for Los Blancos, but it seems doubtful that they would make a January bid for the former Inter Milan and PSG striker, despite the fact that the request comes from boss Ancelotti himself.
Real Madrid will most likely turn to its academy, where youngsters like Nico Paz, Alvaro Rodriguez, and Gonzalo Garcia are awaiting their moment.
