No Benzema, No Problem – Here Are 3 Ready-Made Alternatives Real Madrid Should Look To Sign In Summer

Real Madrid, the Champions of Europe, are in a decent position to find glory this season as they stand at the top of the La Liga table, just a point off their rivals FC Barcelona, with a couple of games in hand. The Los Blancos are also active in the Champions League and will hope to achieve a feat that has never been done before, to retain it this year.

But the manager at the club, Zinedine Zidane, is looking to improve on the squad at the end of the season and is looking to sell a few players. Besides that, it has been recently reported that one of their star men, Karim Benzema, has decided that he wants to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season. Though prolific in front of goal, Benzema is currently unsettled and Zidane might allow him to leave and surely has started looking for replacements.

To help him, here are 3 top quality targets that he can look to sign at the end of the season:

Sergio Aguero (Manchester City):

The Argentine international has not been at his best in the last couple of months and he has now lost his place in the starting XI to young Gabriel Jesus who has been brilliant. And recent reports suggest that his future is in doubt after he said he’ll wait and see what the club wants to do with him when the season is up.

Benzema will also go for a high price making Aguero affordable for Real and his addition will only make them more unstoppable. Aguero is amongst the most prolific goal scorers in the Premier League and will relish a chance to play alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale next season.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund):

The Gabon international is arguably one of the best strikers in the world of football at the moment. He has 71 goals in 113 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit and is ready to make a move out of German at the end of the season. The 27-year old has previous spoken about his desire to join the Los Blancos and if Zidane wants his man, there is nothing stopping this deal from happening. He is a super player who has helped Dortmund to some important victories in recent times and playing with the best in the business will only make him more dangerous.

Diego Costa (Chelsea):

Another option for Zidane is the Chelsea hitman who is in tremendous form at the moment. Costa, who is currently right up there with the top goal scorers in the Premier League this season, has previous experience of the La Liga, in his time at the Vicente Calderon, and though his former club along with a Chinese club, are ready to make him the highest paid footballer ever, Real might find it hard to lure him amid these financial pulls. Costa was reportedly unsettled at the Bridge and with Antonio Conte already looking at replacements, Zidane should meet his valuation, as it might then only depend on whether the player is ready to move back to the Spanish capital at the end of the season.
