José Félix Díaz announces the name of the '9' Real Madrid will sign if Rodrygo leaves

José Félix is certain about the name of the forward who could join Real Madrid, and it would be a surprise

The white team, by being able to strengthen the attack, would have one of the best possible options today due to its shortcomings. While it has big names like Mbappé and Vinícius, it needs a good replacement for Rodrygo, who isn't performing at the required level. In this case, according to information from José Félix Díaz, everything points to Stuttgart's number 9: Nick Woltemade.

He has become extremely popular in the transfer market after the last season, where he was essential at 23 years old. Now he could be a low-cost addition for Real Madrid, which needs a player of this profile to anchor the attack a bit more. This is a bet that has solid grounds to work.

They set their sights on this player

With 2,000 minutes played in the Bundesliga (2,000 minutes) across 33 matches, he managed to rack up an impressive total of 20 goal contributions in a short time. At 23 years old, he has an absolutely promising future ahead, playing both as a striker and as an attacking midfielder.

Additionally, being a somewhat more classic striker profile, his height of 6 ft. 6 in. (1.98 m) is quite convenient for crosses. This player has shown some extremely interesting skills inside the box and, of course, a profile that could fit well in the Madrid squad. The possible departure of the Brazilian in this same transfer window would then open the door for this player's signing.

His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is 30 million euros, so it would be a not-so-risky investment. Considering that this footballer's profile could fit with some others Madrid has already had, it would be a very good addition.

It depends on the president

Right now, it seems that everything revolves around what the president decides, and of course it will be crucial to carry out this operation. This is a footballer who seems to fit very well with what Madrid could make the most of with the players it currently has. Additionally, the German profile is something Alonso has already experienced during his time in the Bundesliga and could maximize it.
