Real Madrid make surprise move for La Liga striker | OneFootball

The defense has been the one area of their team where Real Madrid have made the most changes this summer. They have already bid farewell to two veterans, Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, and have brought in three more experienced players to their backline: Marc Cucurella, Denzel Dumfries, and Ibrahima Konate.

Meanwhile, they have also made some changes to the midfield, with the arrival of Bernardo Silva and the departure of Dani Ceballos. Furthermore, they are also being closely linked with the Manchester City star Rodri Hernandez, and his potential arrival can also lead to more departures from this area.

As far as the attack is concerned, there have, so far, not been any major changes, barring the return of Endrick from his loan with Lyon. However, significant changes are expected in this area in the coming few days. Real Madrid are reportedly close to landing the Ivorian forward Yan Diomande, while the striker Gonzalo Garcia is close to joining Fulham.

With the Spaniard’s departure, Endrick is expected to be Kylian Mbappe’s deputy for the striker role going into the next season. However, Gonzalo’s departure will still leave some room for another player in the attacking ranks of the team, and the Merengues are looking to fill this space with a forward of Joselu’s profile, who will not be a star, but whose forceful presence can help the team, especially when they find it difficult to break the deadlock.

In this regard, Diario AS reports that Real Madrid have made initial contacts with Levante for their striker Carlos Espi. The La Liga side is holding out for his €25 million release clause. Meanwhile, the Premier League side Hull City had already made significant progress in their negotiations with Levante for his signing, but the Merengues’ involvement now complicates such a move.

For now, Real Madrid have taken only the most initial steps in this transfer, and it remains to be seen how this story will develop in the coming few days and weeks.
