Forwards in Real Madrid

Real Madrid has always been active in the transfer market looking for a striker. Many forwards such as Eden Hazard, Kylian Mbappe, Mohamed Salah and Neymar have been linked up with a move to this club but nothing has finalized yet. Real Madrid has Benzema leading the forward line while Bale and Isco can also fill in the role. However, none of them have won over Solari as of yet. Bale and Isco have been looking out for a move elsewhere for the same reason and the club is trying hard to tie them down with a contract.

The mastermind of this team for the past few seasons has put down his papers after winning the Champions League last season. This came as a shock to everyone as nobody expects a manager to leave his job immediately after winning 3 Champions League finals in a row.

Julen Lopetegui, then Spain’s national team manager, was appointed as the manager of Real Madrid and was sacked immediately from Spain’s Managerial duties a week before the World Cup. With a string of bad performances, he was sacked again from Real's duties. Now, Real has appointed Santiago Solari, who is trying hard to stabilize the fall.
