The surprising '9' that sneaks into Real Madrid's wish list: it is not Haaland

Real Madrid has a forward in sight to join Mbappé in the attack, and it is not Haaland.

Despite the fact that Real Madrid has one of the most impressive teams in recent years, it continues to think about possible additions. One of the positions that, even though it is extremely well-covered, still seems to be in line for reinforcement is the forward line. In this regard, they seem to have a name on their wish list that could be a bomb.

Against all odds, we are not referring to the recently renewed Erling Haaland or the great sensation from Portugal, Viktor Gyökeres. We are talking about the great forward that RB Leipzig has, Benjamin Sesko, one of the great sensations of the Bundesliga. His outstanding qualities have been showcased, and he has even been compared to great stars like Haaland in terms of scoring abilities.

This could be the most surprising move by the Merengue team and could signal a significant departure in the white forward line. Although it is still just a rumor, the management seems to be already starting to revolutionize the team idea.

Sesko is One of the Merengues' Desires

This Slovenian footballer has been significantly climbing in his performance throughout his career as a professional footballer. He joined the German team from Salzburg in the summer of 2023 and has been the great sensation since then.

This season, with over 1,700 minutes played in 25 matches, he has 16 total goal contributions. A quite interesting number for a footballer who is only 21 years old and has great characteristics as a forward. Standing at 1.95 m (6 feet 5 inches) tall, he also seems to be a great threat in the opponent's area.

Real Madrid itself already faced him last season in a very challenging match for the Whites. For this reason, the references that the directors have retained are very good, and they want to secure him before another team does.

They Have to Make Moves

If Florentino desires to keep this player, now is the time to start moving the pieces on the board to bring him closer to the club. Something that will surely be quite pleasing for the footballer, who might want to take the step to the greatest team in the history of football.
