May 20th According to reporter Inda on El Chiringuito's program, Real Madrid is looking for a No. 9 player and a center who can serve as Mbappe's substitute, and Osasuna striker Budimir became the target.

Budimir scored 21 goals in La Liga this season, 4 more goals than Vinicius and Rodrigo combined. Inda said that Real Madrid miss Joselu and thinks the team needs such a player, so they looked at Budimir, 33, and thought it was a player very similar to Joselu.

Budimir's contract with Osasuna expires in 2027, with a termination fee of 20 million euros, which is an acceptable price for any big club, and the players are interested in leaving the team and have received offers from several European clubs. Osasuna is reluctant to bargain, but Real Madrid may try to rent some youth training players to them to reduce transfer fees.

Although Budimir meets the requirements of Real Madrid's new coach Xavi Alonso, he is also considering another candidate, such as Leverkusen striker Hick, who has scored 27 goals in 45 games this season, but his biggest obstacle is that his club's asking price is as high as 40 million euros. And if Real Madrid signs a new striker, then Enderick will seek a loan to get the playing time he needs to grow.
