Madrid's Transfer Strategy
Real Madrid continues to map out its future attacking project, signaling a desire for a top forward who can lead the line for years to come.
ESPN reports that Los Blancos could push hard to sign a marquee striker by the summer of 2027.
Haaland vs Ekitike
Hugo Ekitike of Liverpool has emerged as an attractive option for the Real squad.
The 23-year-old has already captured Madrid’s attention after a standout first season in Merseyside, registering 17 goals in 42 appearances.
Club officials are said to be watching his situation closely.
Meanwhile, Haaland from Manchester City also sits on the radar, but the price tag of around €200 million gives the hierarchy some pause.
