Real Madrid have found replacements for Mbappe and Haaland if they do not want to join the team

Madrid's Real might turn their attention to Napoli's forward Victor Osimhen if they fail to secure signings like Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland. The estimated budget for the deal stands at €130 million, under consideration by the club's president, Florentino Perez, as reported by SPORT.

Recent weeks have seen considerable speculation about Osimhen's future at SSC Napoli, with no confirmation of a contract extension with the team. Napoli's sporting director, Mauro Meluso, mentioned:

"We are working behind the scenes. There's a lot of talk because, obviously, people need to talk, but we are working discreetly, and we'll return to this matter in the coming weeks."

The rumors mostly circulate around Osimhen being on the brink of signing a new contract with the reigning Italian champions, possibly extending his stay in Naples until 2028.

Real Madrid is eyeing the signing of a new forward for the start of the 2024/25 season to provide support in attack alongside their new star, Jude Bellingham. Reports suggest that the Madrid club is prepared to make a substantial financial offer for the new player.

Victor Osimhen has been with SSC Napoli since the 2020/21 season. Last season, the Nigerian emerged as the top striker in Italy's elite division, contributing significantly as the team secured their first league title in 33 years.
