Everything is seemed not going well for Real Madrid this season. Even though they manage to retain La Liga league title last season with a huge advantage compared to their challengers, Villareal and Barcelona, this upcoming season maybe will not be as good as before. With Wesley Sneijder is unable to start the season due to injuries and Julio Baptista is leaving Bernabeu for AS Roma, Real Madrid is in crisis.
Despite they have lots of option for their offensive with Raul, Robinho, Javier Saviola and Higuain, but the only true striker in the team is Ruud van Nistelrooy. With Nistelrooy will be too old for playing in few more years, Real Madrid should really find another striker for backup, which at least can be a replacement for Nistelrooy when he retires. The attacking crisis of Real Madrid is become more obvious as Robinho starts to refuse to travel with his team for Supercopa campaign as his request to move to Stamford Bridge is not approved by the club. With Ronaldo's is surely will not fly to Real Madrid this season, obviously Real Madrid has to find a striker as soon as possible because lots of time has been wasted to lure Ronaldo's out of Old Trafford until they maybe not have enough time to buy another players.
But, what are strikers available for Real Madrid? They surely will want someone who can prove that they can become a perfect 'second Ruud' for the team. According this year transfer market, Real Madrid surely has lots of forward to choose from. Dimitar Berbatov, Didier Drogba, David Villa, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and the latest, Real Madrid seek a chance to bring in Karim Benzema to Bernabeu.
This maybe looks like a solution for Real but with lacks of time available, and plus they start do not have a lot of option anymore. With Drogba decided to remain at Chelsea and David Villa also had announced his loyalty to Valencia, their option become less and less. Meanwhile, Dimitar Berbatov most likely will become one of Red Devil's squad rather than be in Bernabeu.
Even though Real Madrid has launched a bid valued €25 million for Ajax's striker, Huntelaar but Huntelaar is also seemed to stay, relieving Marco van Basten even though he knows someday Huntelaar will go out but he really hopes it is not this season. So, with that, the only available striker for them is Karim Benzema but it is not that easy to bring him to Spain as Lyon's president has decided that Karim Benzema will only leave for €50 million. Surely, it is not worth is for a striker which is might only start his first season at the sub bench.
So, will Real Madrid able to find a new striker for them or they will just have to rely on their all time scorers, Raul and Nistelrooy? We will have to wait and see whether this crisis is going to be resolved.
