Neither Mbappé nor Icardi, the 25 million striker that Real Madrid prioritizes

Real Madrid still has not hired a star striker after the departure of Karim Benzema. Just as happened when Cristiano Ronaldo left, Merengue did not go in search of a world figure to fill the gap in the first transfer market, but did so in the next with Eden Hazard, a footballer who did not end up performing. Now, the Casa Blanca signed Joselu as a lifeguard, but it is a fact that in 2024 someone of hierarchy will arrive for the position.

On the one hand, Madrid issued a statement denying that they have already begun negotiations with Kylian Mbappé, which does not mean that they will not go looking for him when his contract with PSG ends. Aside from this, in recent days the news came out that the White House is following in the footsteps of Mauro Icardi. This information was given by Tuttomercato and then the representative of the Argentine striker, Elio Letterio Pino, assured: “We are in contact with Real Madrid leaders, but there is still no official offer".

Now, in the last few hours, an authoritative voice like Fabrizio Romano reported what the Spanish team's position is regarding these rumors. “Real Madrid insist they are not in active talks to sign Mauro Icardi for the January transfer window despite recent links. Icardi's excellent performances have not gone unnoticed in Europe, but Real Madrid denies these types of plans", confirmed the Italian journalist in the last few hours. In addition, he made it clear who the forward they trust is for 2024: “The club is excited about Endrick's arrival on July 24”.

Why will Endrick only arrive in July 2024 if Real Madrid already bought him?

The jewel of Palmeiras was acquired by Merengue when he was 16 years old, but it will not be until July 2024 that he will be able to go to Spain to wear white. The reason? Only in that month of next year will he turn 18, so only then will he be enabled.
