Real Madrid finds themselves in dire need of reinforcements across the entire pitch. The recent UEFA Champions League semi-final against Manchester City highlighted the team’s shortcomings, indicating that Los Blancos must enhance their performance if they aspire to compete with Europe’s leading clubs, who possess remarkable depth in nearly every position. Conversely, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad has often relied on individual brilliance and fleeting moments of magic.
One specific area that requires immediate attention is the striker position. Undoubtedly, Karim Benzema is a top-notch player; however, at 35 years old, he is inevitably succumbing to the effects of time. His struggle to maintain consistent fitness throughout this season has significantly impacted his performances. Unfortunately, Real Madrid lacks suitable backup for him, as Mariano Diaz, the only other recognized center-forward in the squad, is poised to depart during the summer.
Hence, it becomes imperative for Real Madrid to bolster their attacking options this upcoming transfer window. Interestingly, it appears that they have set their sights on a player from Tottenham Hotspur.
According to a report from Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle), Real Madrid has expressed interest in acquiring Richarlison from Tottenham Hotspur. Carlo Ancelotti, who previously worked with the Brazilian international during their time together at Everton, has specifically requested the Real Madrid hierarchy to secure the services of the talented forward.
Merely last summer, Richarlison made a high-profile move from Everton to Tottenham Hotspur. Unfortunately, his tenure in London has not gone as planned, as the Brazilian has struggled to find his scoring touch. Given his recent goal drought, it is plausible that Richarlison could become available for a reasonable fee in the upcoming summer transfer window. Ancelotti’s familiarity with the player from their successful collaboration at Everton has likely contributed to his interest in revitalizing Richarlison’s form at the iconic Santiago Bernabeu.
