Osman Dembele made a guest appearance as No.9 in the game against levante. Although the French youngster played well, it was obvious that this was not the conventional tactic that valverde hoped to adopt. In view of this, the Barcelona coach has asked the club to sign a new striker quickly, and one of the goals of the Rossoneri is Chelsea star Morata, but it is not difficult to complete the deal.
First of all, Morata's salary at Chelsea is very high. Barcelona don't want to sign a starting striker now, but a replacement for Suarez. And Barcelona also have doubts about buying Morata.
Another target for consideration is fernando llorente, a striker that valverde admires very much, because they had a love affair at Athletic Bilbao. Tottenham may be willing to let llorente go, but whether the Spaniard is suitable for Barcelona is another question.
In addition, it is reported that Barcelona are also interested in Genoa striker Piater, Leipzig Red Bull striker Werner and Certa's Maxi Gomez, but these three are mainly considered to be acquired by Barcelona in the summer.
It is indeed possible for Barcelona to sign a new striker in the winter window, but as Marca said, Barcelona just wants to buy a substitute striker, so it is unlikely to make a big deal. Morata and Lorant are now their targets.
Portuguese star William Carvalho said that Real Madrid can still feel the pain of Cristiano Ronaldo's departure. He said he wouldn't sell Cristiano Ronaldo for 200 million euros.
In an interview with Marca, Carvalho said: "Of course, any team in the world will need Cristiano Ronaldo. Although not many, but Real Madrid can also feel some, miss those goals of C Ronaldo.
However, Ronaldo is also very good at Juve at present, where he will score many goals.
It is difficult for us to know why Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid. I don't know what happened, but I know Ronaldo. He is ambitious and always wants to do things well and prove that he is the best player.
1 100 million euros, or even 200 million euros, I won't sell Ronaldo. "
Real Madrid's attack this season is indeed a bit weak, lacking dominance and deterrence, which has a lot to do with Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, but after all, Cristiano Ronaldo is old and Real Madrid may have its own considerations.
In any case, if Real Madrid wants to start a new era, I'm afraid it will have to spend real money on new superstars.
