After the achievement of his League number 35 and his fourteenth Champions League, from the offices of the Real Madrid have begun the works of planning of his staff for the next season. The group merengue already has oficializado the arrival of Antonio Rüdiger and Aurélien Tchouaméni for the defence and the medullary of the team respectively, by what momentáneamente do not expect to concretise the arrival of more reinforcements to the square. By this reason, the whites, of the hand of Ancelotti, study his options for the attack.

The main aim of Florentino Pérez to strengthen said zone was Kylian Mbappé. The Real Madrid had worked in the incorporation of the of Bondy by a lot of years and seemed to be the main candidate to do with the services of the 'crack' French. Nevertheless, a 'twist' of last hour in the events moved away to the champion of the world of Chamartín to finish extending his agreement with the Paris Saínt-Germain, 'destroying' the planning of the vikingos for the next season.

The arrival of the '7' Parisian presented him a long fan of alternatives to 'Carletto' in attack, since his polivalencia allows him manage in big level so much in band as in the centre of the forward. In this sense, one of the functions that expected that it fulfilled Mbappé is the one of substitute of Benzema when this was absent. The madridistas do not have the position of the '9' very covered and remained showed during the past course, where neither Mariano neither Jovic knew to occupy the place of the 'Cat'.

Now, with the signing fallen of Kylian and conscious of this fragility in offensive, Ancelotti has studied diverse options and would have found the solution to the problem in Hazard and Rodrygo. The merengues trust the evolution of Eden for the next campaign, in where it expects that the Belgian 'redeem' after being punished by the injuries during his 3 first years. Of the same way, the 'explosion' experienced by the Brazilian in the 2022-2023, where besides showed his big capacity goleadora, awards him more 'chevrons' for the following season.

A false '9'

That's why the one of Reggiolo would be considering use to any one of the two previously mentioned forwards like false '9' when it do not have to Benzema to his disposal, as it has informed the journalist Edu Aguirre of the program 'The Chiringuito of Jugones'. Both footballers have showed to be able to surrender in said demarcation, in fact, Rodrygo managed by the centre of the forward of the Saints before arriving to Chamartín, by what the Madrid prepares a new season with surprises in his diagram.
