Real Madrid could do with some more top quality options. Carlo Ancelotti has received quite a bit of criticism over the course of the campaign. But at the same time, one cannot deny the fact that he has not been dealt the best of hands. Los Blancos’ depth was paper thin from the beginning and on top of that, they have been struggling with a series of injury problems as well.
As a result, it should come as no surprise that their results have been inconsistent throughout the course of the season. Just when it looks like they have found some rhythm, they take a step back. The recent 1-0 defeat against Barcelona at Santiago Bernabeu is a prime example.
Thus, Real Madrid need to strengthen the squad and one area where they certainly need to make additions is striker. Karim Benzema is still one of the best in the world on his day but he is 35 years of age and has been struggling with injury problems throughout the campaign.
On the other hand, Mariano Diaz is expected to leave at the end of the season when his contract runs out. And while the emergence of Alvaro is exciting, it is important to remember that he is just 18 years of age and should not be expected to lead the line for Real Madrid consistently just yet.
Real Madrid should sign Liverpool superstar for free next summer
As tweeted out Florian Plettenberg, Roberto Firmino will leave Liverpool after 8 years. It’s decided and the player has informed Jurgen Klopp personally. He will leave the club as a free agent in the summer.
Signing someone like Firmino could be a masterstroke on the part of Real Madrid. Especially because he is available as a free agent and at 31 years of age, he should have plenty of football left in the tank.
Firmino is one of the best in the world when it comes to his ability to bring those around him into play. His presence in the middle was a huge reason behind the success of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah at Liverpool. And thus, players like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Marco Asensio, Fede Valverde and others could benefit from his presence.
Contrary to popular belief, Firmino has a decent scoring record as well. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 107 goals and provided 78 assists for Liverpool till now.
