Real Madrid’s season will soon officially start with the European Super Cup played next Wednesday against Eintracht Frankfurt. A meeting that will allow the merengue club to display its first ambitions on the ground, after a targeted but effective recruitment with the arrival of Rudiger de Tchouaméni quickly in the summer.
Of course, Real Madrid would have liked another major reinforcement with the case of Mbappé who finally decided to extend to PSG. A non-arrival which has since posed a question. If Karim Benzema were to experience glitches or simply need to breathe in a schedule that promises to be dense, who would replace him as number 9?
Ancelotti wanted Gabriel Jesus
In recent days, many potential rumors (Raul De Tomas, Sesko, Rutter …) are born, but the daily Marca is clear this Wednesday. Carlo Ancelotti would not actually intend to recruit another goalscorer for a simple reason. After Mbappé, his one and only priority was the arrival of Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian striker having joined Arsenal, the Italian technician prefers to do with what he has at hand, and in particular Eden Hazard as a surprising replacement for KB9.

to summarize
Real Madrid seem to have forgotten the idea of recruiting a striker this summer, scalded by the Mbappé file and that of another striker afterwards… Carlo Ancelotti only had Gabriel Jesus in mind to compete with Karim Benzema.
