The Los Blancos have been linked with a move for Kylian Mbappe in the summer as the transfer saga continues with the Frenchman. The 24-year-old ends his contract with PSG next season and will leave for free. However, the Parisians want him to extend or leave in the summer.

For Real Madrid, the search for a striker remains one of the biggest challenges for the club, and we’ve seen some names pop up across the European media.

Tottenham forward Harry Kane has been mentioned as a potential candidate to wear the number nine jersey even though the club is unwilling to sell him.

According to Fichajes, Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen, and Dusan Vlahovic are the top three Kylian Mbappe alternatives for Real Madrid in the summer.

Dusan Vlahovic

Following a much-anticipated move to the Allianz Stadium, the Serbian forward could be up for sale in the summer as the Old Lady are looking to make some money in the sale of the striker.

Chelsea is already linked with the 23-year old and is said to be willing to match Juventus’ asking price even as Mauricio Pochettino eyes working with the player.

The Serbian has a contract with Juventus until the summer of 2026.

Victor Osimhen

Perhaps one of the most followed players in Europe, Osimhen was outstanding for Napoli as they won the Italian Serie A title. The Nigerian forward also won the Golden Boot and has since been subject to interest from top European football clubs.

However, what seems to be the obstacle in the signing of the Nigerian is the club’s asking price. Napoli’s stance on his transfer has continued to put off potential suitors.

Harry Kane

Carlo Ancelotti is interested in Harry Kane and wants to work with him at Santiago Bernabéu.

Real Madrid had already made an offer for him a week ago. However, this interest cooled after Kylian Mbappé’s transfer story emerged.

Kane is one of the forwards in Europe and could cost Real Madrid more than 100 million euros.
