Real Madrid Set Sights on an €80 Million Striker in January Transfer Window

Real Madrid’s Search for a Striker: Dusan Vlahovic on the Radar for January

Following Karim Benzema’s departure to Al-Ittihad at the end of the previous season, Real Madrid found themselves faced with the daunting task of filling his formidable shoes. However, their summer transfer activity didn’t quite meet the expectations, with the season-long loan signing of Joselu from Espanyol offering a short-term solution.

While Joselu is currently enjoying a rich vein of form, doubts persist about his ability to lead Real Madrid’s attack in their pursuit of major trophies. This has sparked speculation about the possibility of Real Madrid making a move for a world-class striker in the upcoming January transfer window.

One name that emerged on their radar during the summer transfer window was Dusan Vlahovic, the Juventus striker. Despite a challenging previous season, Vlahovic has started the current campaign in spectacular fashion, showcasing his scoring prowess.

As reported by Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle), Real Madrid’s interest in Vlahovic persists, with the club closely monitoring his performances. There is a possibility of Real Madrid making a bid for him in the January transfer window.

However, Juventus may be reluctant to part ways with Vlahovic given his exceptional form. The Serbian striker has notched four goals in four appearances this season and has also provided an assist. Finally living up to the potential that prompted Juventus to invest approximately €80 million in his signing from Fiorentina, Vlahovic’s current trajectory suggests he might remain in Turin for the foreseeable future.

Juventus had reportedly considered a potential deal with Chelsea involving Vlahovic and Romelu Lukaku during the summer transfer window, but it failed to materialize. For now, it appears that Juventus is reaping the rewards of retaining their talented striker.
