Didac Aguirre One of Europe's best strikers calls Real Madrid, he wants to be Xabi's Joselu.
The major star Xabi Alonso could have at Real Madrid to strengthen the attack next season
After Joselu's departure last summer, Real Madrid couldn't find a striker with a similar profile. While this wasn't a major concern due to having Mbappé, Vinicius, and Rodrygo, this has changed with Xabi. With the coach looking for a striker like Joselu, Real Madrid has been presented with an opportunity.
Recently, Real Madrid has been given the chance to sign Dušan Vlahović. With the player's representatives presenting Vlahović to Real Madrid, Xabi has a great option to strengthen the attack. As he's reaching the end of his contract with Juventus, both the club and the player are looking to part ways this transfer window.
Vlahović, who has already shown his lethality in the Italian squad, fits the profile Xabi Alonso has been looking for. A striker with playmaking ability who also has no problem being a substitute for the vast majority of the team's matches.
A great opportunity for Xabi Alonso
Arriving at Juventus in 2022, Dušan Vlahović began to stand out as a highly talented striker for the team. Achieving numbers that are far from negligible, his stats this season have been no exception. Scoring 15 goals and providing 5 assists in 2,568 min. (2,568 minutes), Vlahović is a very lethal striker in front of the opponent's goal.
Despite his performance, Juventus hasn't shown interest in renewing Vlahović's contract, which expires in 2026. Just one season away from being able to leave Juventus completely free, the club prefers to get some income from his departure.
The fact that he has no problem being a substitute at Real Madrid is appreciated by the team itself and, of course, by Xabi Alonso. Despite the big stars Real Madrid has in its attack, Xabi is clear that he needs someone like Vlahović.
The striker Real Madrid was missing
While negotiations haven't started between Vlahović and Real Madrid, the club is considering signing him. Looking ahead to a season where Real Madrid has a clear intention to dominate their rivals, having Vlahović could be very beneficial.
