Fabrizio Romano has just dropped some mammoth transfer news involving Victor Osimhen, which could end up impacting Real Madrid directly.
Real Madrid is preparing for the Club World Cup this summer. Los Blancos have just come off the back of a dreadful season, but they could begin their resurge in the USA this summer, with key group stage fixtures against Al-Hilal, Pachuca and RB Salzburg.
These are clubs that, with the exception of Salzburg, Real Madrid might not come up against had it not been for the international club competition. This is the beauty of the Club World Cup and a key reason why clubs as big as Real Madrid are drawn to it.
However, fans now fear that one of the deadliest strikers in the world might be unleashed against them.

According to a recent update from Fabrizio Romano, Al Hilal has submitted an official bid to Napoli, in the hopes of signing Victor Osimhen. Romano claims that the Saudi Pro League side has offered a €65m fixed fee plus €5m add-ons, and now the ball is in Napoli's court.
Victor Osimhen is known as one of the deadliest strikers in the world, as he has the ability to make a goal out of nothing. During his time in European football, he has built up a goal machine reputation, but how does this impact Real Madrid?
Well, if the transfer escalates as fast as the approach has, then Victor Osimhen may very well make his Al Hilal debut against Real Madrid. He'd be in esteemed company too, alongside the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Joao Cancelo and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
For those who only keep an eye on their European teams, those might be names that are forgotten about. However, they'll relish the opportunity to play against Real Madrid on such a big stage.
So, this is a transfer race that Real Madrid should certainly keep up with. After all, it won't just be Real Madrid who wants to put their new faces on the map this summer.
