Ignoring Mbappe, the legend advised Real to recruit a striker who scored 15 goals/11 matches

Santiago Gimenez is emerging as one of the most prestigious strikers this season. After 11 appearances this season, he has scored 15 goals and contributed two more assists.

 

Impressive achievements have helped the Mexican international receive interest from many clubs, including Real Madrid. According to legend Jorge Valdano, Real should consider adding Gimenez to the squad instead of continuing the dream called Kylian Mbappe.

“It’s too early to do that. The good news is that Real Madrid’s number 9 shirt is still empty. The dream is for Kylian Mbappe to wear that number, but dreams don’t always come true.

 

For Gimenez, he is playing in a competitive environment. Competing at the highest level helps him develop himself further. Where appropriate, the number of goals scored can be used as a measure. That presence matters.

 

At Mexico, they were lacking goals when Raul Jimenez was injured, and the most important players had all kinds of problems. Finding goals is now important and they have found a new solution with Santiago Gimenez.”
