Following the departure of Karim Benzema, Real Madrid is looking for a long-term answer to the striker position they currently have.
It is generally agreed upon that Joselu is not likely to be the club’s long-term option, despite the fact that he has demonstrated commendable performance when given the opportunity to do so.
Real Madrid has been linked to a number of notable strikers, and Santiago Gimenez is one of the names that has garnered a significant amount of attention.
During the course of this season, Gimenez has constantly scored goals, demonstrating exceptional form of play.
His recent performance in a Champions League match, in which Feyenoord defeated Lazio by a score of 3-1, has contributed to an increase in his attractiveness. He scored two goals during the match.
It is among the major candidates in the fight to secure his signature that Real Madrid is now in the running.
Gimenez has been the subject of interest from a number of clubs, including Inter, Milan, Lazio, and Napoli, according to Morris Pagniello, who is an advisor to the attacker.
Nevertheless, Pagniello identifies Inter and Juventus as the two clubs that have the potential to be the most suitable options for the developing striker.
In addition to this, he underlined the significant rise in Gimenez’s market worth, which has increased from ten million euros to forty million euros in a period of less than a year.
Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur are the clubs that are now in the most intense competition with one another to acquire his services.
At the conclusion of the most recent summer transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur was able to witness the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
Their performance has been remarkable, and they are currently in first place in the Premier League, despite the fact that they have lost their star striker.
Because of his excellent goal-scoring record of 15 goals in just 11 games this season, Gimenez is considered to be one of the best young strikers in Europe.
Real Madrid has been actively recruiting bright young talents with profiles that are comparable to Gimenez’s.
