Real Madrid's forward position has not been able to find a suitable replacement as a top team after losing Benzema. Real Madrid naturally needs to find a reasonable successor, and Real Madrid has been waiting for Mbappe or Haaland to join to solve this problem at one time.
But what people didn't expect was that Mbappe's repeated plays made Real Madrid wait for him for too long in vain. Especially considering that Real Madrid also missed out on Harry Kane while waiting for Mbappe. Kane, who joined Manchester City this season, has directly played at the level of the Ballon d'Or. And Real Madrid also know that there is not much need to continue to wait for Mbappe. As for another foreign player, Haaland, Real Madrid also understands that it is too difficult to sign him.
Haaland only won the treble with Manchester City last season, the team is strong, and the salary package for him is also top-notch. There is no need for him to come to Real Madrid at this time, so Real Madrid has also directly changed his goals. If you want to forcibly poach Manchester City's new Messi, it is the talented striker Alvarez. Alvarez was ordered at the Qatar World Cup last year and directly followed Messi to win the final championship.
While Lautaro was not doing well, Alvarez also played at the top level, scoring four goals. After returning to Manchester City, Alvarez has gone one step further this season, scoring 11 goals and providing eight assists. His goalscoring and passing ability are top-notch.
But Manchester City have Haaland's presence, which dooms Alvarez to only play a supporting role. And Real Madrid hopes to forcibly poach Alvarez, which can also provide him with a bigger platform for development. Real Madrid's salary and position in the team are a great temptation. It is also very likely that Guardiola will not be able to keep the talented striker.
