Real Madrid are currently in a phase of transition with Los Blancos looking to replace old players. However, it is always difficult to find players who can effectively replace established players. But Real Madrid are currently looking for players to replace one of their old players with Dusan Vlahovic.
One such player who needs to be replaced in long term is Karim Benzema. According to AS Diario, Los Blancos want Dusan Vlahovic as a replacement for Karim Benzema. The report stated that Real Madrid are keeping tabs on the Juventus forward.
The Serbian plays as a center-forward and he is just 23 years old now. He only joined Juventus in 2022 in the January transfer window. He was signed by Juve for a fee of worth €70 million.
It is likely that the Turin giants are likely to demand a higher than €70 million. According to Transfmarkt Serbian is valued at around €72 million. However, considering his age Juve are likely to demand €100 million for the young striker.
Timing of Real Madrid move Dusan Vlahovic
Currently, Juventus are going through plenty of crises. They have deducted 15 points from the Italian authorities, with further consequences unknown. At this moment it looks like they will miss out on Champions League football as well.
Thus it could be possible that the Serbian might look for a move away from the club. Recently it was also reported that the player has offered himself to Real Madrid as well. While Juve and Los Blancos also enjoy good transfer relationships with each other.
The Spanish side is hopeful of using that to secure the signing of the Serbian. Also, he is likely to be less expensive than Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. Both of them also look set to stay at their respective clubs next season.
Thus with Benzema reaching the twilight of his career and Haaland and Mbappe out of reach, Valhovic offers a good solution. That’s why the timing of the move is also very good for the Spanish side.
Why Real Madrid want Dusan Vlahovic?
Currently, Los Blancos don’t have a direct replacement for Karim Benzema. The Frenchman is now 35 years old and he has been prone to injuries as well. While Mariano Diaz is the only recognized center forward in Real Madrid but he is not good enough.
Also, other forwards like Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio haven’t been able to add much value to the team. Thus it is understandable that Los Blancos are looking to add a new striker.
Not only this the Serbian is still young and he has already established himself in Serie A. Although this season he has only scored 10 goals but he has largely been injured as well. It was actually his last two seasons where he scored 21 and 29 goals respectively to establish himself.
It is no wonder that the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United have also been linked with him. The Spanish side must move quickly if they want to secure his signature.
