Despite winning their first three league games of the season, several fans are calling for Real Madrid to enforce its attacking line.

This comes after several departures this summer, including an injury to forward Vinicius Junior.

Earlier this summer, Real Madrid said goodbye to Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio and Eden Hazard. These three departures were all attacking players in the team.

However, the club are reluctant to enforce the forward line with a world class striker.

Reports indicate that head coach Carlo Ancelotti asked the club for a world class striker to fill in the void left by current Ballon D’or holder Karim Benzema. Ancelotti’s preference was Harry Kane, who has signed for Bayern Munich.

Kane himself would have loved to join the Spanish giants, who had other priorities. Real Madrid turned its attention to Kylian Mbappé. The club wants to wait until the final minute to see if there is a way of getting the PSG star this summer.

Carlo Ancelotti himself was asked last Friday if the club will sign a striker this summer. His response was precise and straightforward: “I discard it, 100%.”

With Real Madrid and knowing the game involved in the transfer market, nothing is impossible until the window is closed.

According to Jose Manuel Moreno who has a close relationship with club president Florentino Perez, Real Madrid have not ruled out signing Dušan Vlahović this summer.

The Juventus attacker has played two games this season, scoring two and assisting one.

The 23-year-old is valued at 70 million euros according to Transfermarkt.

His 43 goals in the last two seasons makes him one of the most in-demand forwards in Europe.

Juventus are reportedly looking to sell players to balance their books and could cash in on the Serbian.
