According to rumors, REAL MADRID is considering a surprise deal for Julian Alvarez of Manchester City.

Following the loss of Karim Benzema to the Saudi Pro League this summer, Carlo Ancelotti’s team is looking into the striker market.

Real Madrid now has a major gap up front after the Frenchman left for Al-Ittihad.

Instead of spending heavily on a striker this summer, Ancelotti and company signed Joselu, a former failure at Stoke and Newcastle, on loan from Espanyol.

Although the Italian is happy with his present alternatives, it is anticipated that the Spanish powerhouses will sign a star forward in 2019.

Kylian Mbappe, the star forward for Paris Saint-Germain, has been linked to Real Madrid for a while.

The 24-year-old’s PSG contract is slated to expire in the summer of 2019, thus it’s anticipated that they will ultimately close a deal for him then.

But since the situation with Mbappe previously resulted in a deal falling through, Real Madrid officials are looking into other possibilities just in case.

Spanish publication Fichajes claims that Real is interested in Man City player Alvarez.

If they are unsuccessful in signing Mbappe, they contend that he might become a crucial target for Ancelotti’s team.

Alvarez, 23, has flourished since joining the Etihad, despite facing Erling Haaland in the top position.

Last season, he scored 17 goals in all competitions, helping City win the Triple Crown and the World Cup with Argentina.

Guardiola won’t want to lose Alvarez, who has started each of City’s first four Premier League games this season.

Real Madrid has relied on Jude Bellingham to score goals so early this season because they lack a great striker.

The England star has five goals in his first four games for his new team after being given a goal target by his boss.

He can easily score 15 goals, according to Ancelotti. His excellent movement is the reason he scores so many goals.

He is a player that picks things up extremely quickly, so we don’t have to explain things to him very often.
