Real to sign top forward if Vinícius departs Madrid

Real Madrid may significantly alter its strategy in the summer transfer market. According to Fichajes, the club’s president, Florentino Pérez, is focused on acquiring a new forward who would perfectly fit the team's playing style.

Details: The forward in question is Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting, who has attracted the attention of leading European clubs due to his goal-scoring instinct and physical strength.

The club believes that Kylian Mbappé should be used in his preferred position as a left-wing forward, where the Frenchman has demonstrated his best qualities for many years. To achieve this, the club’s management believes that Madrid needs a powerful central striker capable of consistently scoring goals, and Gyökeres is seen as the ideal fit for this role.

Reminder: However, a potential deal for the Swedish striker will be difficult. His expected transfer fee is around €100 million, and Real Madrid would only be able to afford such a sum if Vinícius Júnior leaves the club. The sale of the Brazilian would provide the necessary funds for the transfer of the Lisbon-based forward and help balance the club’s budget.
