Real Madrid want to sign Victor Osimhen ahead of rivals Barcelona because they desperately need a proven goal scorer that would allow for both Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior to revert to their traditional positions.
According to agent Mithat Halis, Real Madrid have not had a centre forward since Karim Benzema’s time and so have been forced to play Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr as strikers.
Halis, who was involved in Osimhen’s transfer to Wolfsburg in 2016, explained that if they signed the Galatasaray striker, Mbappe and Vinicius will play in their natural positions as wingers and will be more effective.
He further said he believes that Osimhen would be a very functional player for Real Madrid.
