Neither Mbappé nor Endrick, Real Madrid chooses a number 9, Florentino Pérez is working on his signing.

Real Madrid has strengthened very well this summer, but they're already going through their first major slump of the season, which has to do with finishing and offensive power. The setbacks against Liverpool and Rayo have exposed the shortcomings of a team that still can't find balance between attack and defense.

With world-class stars like Mbappé, Endrick, Vinícius, Rodrygo, or Gonzalo, the fans expected a much more forceful and consistent offensive power. However, so far, only Mbappé is meeting expectations and keeping Madrid with chances in all competitions. The rest remain completely absent.

Florentino Pérez acknowledges the goal deficit at Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappé already has eighteen official goals, while Vinícius barely reaches five, and Endrick, Gonzalo, and Rodrygo still haven't scored yet. This imbalance in numbers has set off all the alarms in Valdebebas, where the club acknowledges that they're missing a reliable "9".

Florentino Pérez believes Real Madrid needs a top-level center forward who can be a starter from day one. According to sources close to the club, the president is already working discreetly to find the ideal profile to lead the new offensive era. Meanwhile, after a long search, he's found the best possible "9" in Türkiye.

Neither Mbappé nor Endrick, Real Madrid choose Victor Osimhen

Florentino Pérez's favorite and his scouting team's is Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker from Galatasaray who's shining brightly this season. The striker has 9 goals in 12 matches and his performance confirms that he's going through one of the best moments of his career. In the Champions League, in fact, he's the top scorer.

Victor Osimhen arrived at Galatasaray after a tense departure from Napoli, but his impact in Türkiye has restored his value in the European market. His physical strength, his speed over distance, and his finishing ability fit perfectly with Real Madrid's attacking philosophy. However, his signing will be around €75 million, a considerably high figure.

Victor Osimhen would push out Vinícius Júnior

Real Madrid already considered Victor Osimhen after Karim Benzema's departure, although he ultimately didn't arrive. Now, Florentino Pérez knows that his addition would significantly raise the team's collective performance and provide a real alternative to Mbappé's goals.

However, for Victor Osimhen to be an undisputed starter, Vinícius Júnior could be pushed aside or even consider a departure in the summer. Florentino Pérez's message is clear: Madrid doesn't want to depend on names, but on goals and immediate performance.
