Transfer: Real Madrid target Osimhen as replacement for Benzema

Real Madrid are keeping close tabs on the future of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.

Los Blancos main striker, Karim Benzema, is in the latter stages of his career and the club is looking for a successor for the Frenchman.

Real were unable to bring in Benzema’s international teammate, Kylian Mbappe, last summer.

According to Spanish publication, Fichajes, Real have not ruled out a move for Osimhen in a future transfer window.

The 24-year-old played a key role in Napoli clinching the Scudetto after over three decades, scoring 23 goals and providing four assists.

Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis has reiterated his desire to keep the Nigerian international at the club despite interests from the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
