#2 Bench Benzema for Mayoral
This may sound a little doltish, but Benzema needs to sense a fear of losing his first-team position. The Frenchman has been misfiring for quite a few seasons now and the sole reason for his dip in form is lack of competition in the squad.
After selling Morata to Chelsea in 2017, the Bernabeu outfit have been linked to several strikers, including the likes of Harry Kane and Lewandowski, but none of the rumours seemed concrete and as a result, there was no sign of progress.
With the transfer window about to end in 5 days, Real Madrid certainly is looking for reinforcements. According to reports, the Madrid-based club has agreed to terms with Iago Aspas and the deal is about to go through.
However, if there are no signings whatsoever, Julen Loptegui does not have an option but to trust Mayoral to replace Benzema.
Mayoral has been the top scorer in the 2015 under-19 UEFA European Championship, but the Spanish striker has not had adequate chances to show his skills under Zinedine Zidane.
