Real Madrid star could be offered in swap deal for Dusan Vlahovic

Real Madrid have been linked with Dusan Vlahovic in recent times. The club could definitely do with another striker. Karim Benzema is still one of the best in the world in his position. But he has been dealing with a long list of injuries for a while, and has been in-and-out of the team for some time. Thus, Los Blancos cannot continue to rely on him as the sole man up front for much longer.

Mariano Diaz was the only other recognised forward for the squad for a long time, and has barely featured this season. The emergence of Alvaro has made things a lot more interesting.

At the same time though, it is important to remember that he is still just 18 years of age and has a goal and an assist to his name. Thus, it is important not too put him under too much pressure to deliver at this stage of his career.

So, Real Madrid might end up signing another striker in the future. And Vlahovic is someone that they have been linked with quite a bit.

Real Madrid star could be offered in swap deal for Vlahovic

As reported by Calciomercatoweb, Real Madrid could offer Ferland Mendy plus a €40 million transfer fee for Vlahovic.

Vlahovic is believed to be rated at around €80 million. And it is hard to see Real Madrid match that figure outright, especially with several other areas still in need to strengthening and Jude Bellingham believed to be their number one target in the summer.

Mendy has come under quite a bit of criticism for his performances this season, and is currently out injured. On the other hand, Real Madrid already have an agreement to sign Fran Garcia from Rayo Vallecano next summer. Thus, including the Frenchman as part of a deal for Vlahovic would make sense.
