Real Madrid are preparing a revolution this summer, hoping to complete multiple signings to reinforce their attack for next season.

Los Blancos have just lost Marco Asensio, Mariano Diaz, Eden Hazard, and Karim Benzema over the course of the last two days, and want to sign multiple forwards to fill the gaping holes in attack.

They are looking to sign up to four forwards, with three players, in particular, making the rounds in transfer news. These are Harry Kane, Kai Havertz, and Joselu.

Kane is the primary objective for the club to reinforce the striker position, while Joselu will largely serve as his backup, taking over the role Mariano Diaz was brought in to fill.

Meanwhile, Havertz is a ‘dream’ for Florentino Perez and Carlo Ancelotti, and now the player is on his way to Real Madrid, as per a report by BILD.

Havertz is on his way out of Chelsea this summer, with the Blues in dire need of raising money through player sales. Their spending last summer has submerged them in hot waters with the FFP, and could raise a ton of complications.

Chelsea spent over €80 million on the German three seasons ago, and while they know they will not be able to recover all of the investment, they still want ‘important’ money to let any of their starting lineup players leave.

As such, the Blues have also ruled out any loan move for Havertz, and will only consider a permanent transfer away from the Stamford Bridge.

Madrid do not see Havertz as a no. 9, though. They view him as a player who can play between the lines.

His numbers also reflect his unproductivity in front of the goal, with the player failing to hit the ten-goal mark in the Premier League across his three seasons with Chelsea so far.

    Whoever is taking the position of Karim… I DON’T think Harry Kane will be able to fill the hiatus just now….. Leaving Ascensio may cost us severely……

Carlos Espi is becoming Real Madrid’s unlikely late-game specialist.

The 21-year-old once again came off the bench to rescue Jose Mourinho’s side, this time scoring the 91st-minute winner in a dramatic 3-2 victory over Elche

It was his second goal for the club, and both have arrived at crucial moments.

Speaking to Real Madrid TV after the match, Espi could barely contain his excitement.

“I’m so happy—the happiest man in the world. I try to help the team any way I can, and every time I step onto the field, I give it my all and come away feeling great. 

“Starting like this has been a dream. This isn’t over yet; we’re going to keep going because we have Sunday’s match coming up. 

“This is a team effort. All of us who take the field make the most of our opportunities and give it our all,” he began.

Espi keeps making his minutes count

There is a growing pattern to Espi’s involvement. Even though he has yet to start a match for the first team, that has not stopped him from making an impact.

His first goal arrived against Espanyol in Real Madrid’s opening game, when another late strike helped secure the result. 

Against Elche, he was required again after Real Madrid surrendered a two-goal lead and suddenly found themselves in serious trouble.

Espi eventually appeared at the back post in the 91st minute and finished the move to give Mourinho’s team all three points.

The youngster shared the credit with his teammates, but he also had special praise for the player who supplied his decisive moment.

That assist came from Kylian Mbappe, whose presence has made Espi’s route into the starting XI particularly difficult.

“It’s unbelievable—it’s crazy to watch him train and play. In this case, he set me up for the goal, and I’m very happy for him, too.”

First Madrid derby already has Espi excited

The timing of Espi’s latest contribution could hardly be more interesting, as Real Madrid now face Atletico Madrid on Sunday, giving the forward an opportunity to experience his first Madrid derby.

“I’m really looking forward to it—I’m so excited. It’s my first derby here, and we’re going to go for it.”

For Mourinho, Espi is a useful option when matches become chaotic. He may not yet be a regular starter, but his two appearances on the scoresheet have carried considerably more weight than the minutes he has played.
