Real Madrid’s Forward Conundrum: Exploring Dusan Vlahovic as a Potential Solution

Real Madrid finds themselves in a transitional phase following Karim Benzema’s departure, leaving a void in the forward position. While Kylian Mbappe’s potential arrival looms, uncertainty surrounds the timing and financial aspects of the transfer. Consequently, Real Madrid must seek options to bolster their forward line for the upcoming season, considering the likelihood of a free spot next year. This scenario implies that making a significant investment in this position may not be the most sensible choice.

According to Cadena SER via Diario AS, Real Madrid assessed the feasibility of acquiring Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen. However, the revealed asking prices led to their dismissal as viable options. As per Pacojo Delgado, their current third choice is Dusan Vlahovic.

Vlahovic, a promising young Serbian striker, has yet to fulfill his potential at Juventus, who are keen on generating funds through player sales. Delgado suggests that a loan arrangement with an option to buy could benefit both parties involved.

Such a move would provide Real Madrid with another number nine for the upcoming season, offering substantial upside without long-term commitments. Simultaneously, Juventus and Vlahovic could reset his market value should the move prove successful.

Ultimately, the feasibility of this option hinges on Juventus’ financial needs this summer. While not an ideal solution for Real Madrid, finding an optimal alternative appears unlikely. There is no definitive evidence of Vlahovic’s ability to perform at the level required by Real Madrid. However, the 23-year-old possesses the talent necessary to potentially fill the void.
