Madrid seek Morata replacement, but will Benzema budge?
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane intimated the club may be in the market for a new striker, but any new boy will face a struggle to dislodge the current number nine.
With Álvaro Morata having left the Bernabéu for Chelsea, Zinedine Zidane is a little short in the striker department for 2017-18.
Borja Mayoral has returned from Wolfsburg to provide some competition but a new forward is likely to arrive to cover for the departed Spain international.
However, as has been the case for several seasons now, whoever comes in will have a difficult job to shift Karim Benzema from the starting line-up. AS takes a look at some of the candidates.
