Now that Real Madrid and Chelsea have confirmed the transfer of Alvaro Morata, (subject to a medical), Los Blancos will be keen on spending the eye-watering €80m they raised from the sale of the Spanish striker.
There are reports in the Spanish press that Zinedine Zidane is satisfied with rotating between Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in the central striker role, but that is surely a foolhardy prospect for a club like Real Madrid, especially in the case of a freak injury. Thus Madrid have to spend, and spend intelligently.
Here are the best replacements for Alvaro Morata at Real Madrid.
#1 Borja Mayoral
#2 Javier Hernandez – Bayer Leverkusen
#3 Timo Werner – RB Leipzig
#4 Lucas Perez – Arsenal
#5 Kylian Mbappe – AS Monaco
