5 attacking options Real Madrid could consider signing in January

#3 Timo Werner (RB Leipzig)

Werner would provide far more than Benzema

The 22-year-old German international quickly established himself as a deadly striker with 21 goals in RB Leipzig’s debut season, which helped them secure Champions League football in their very first attempt.

His strengths include predatory finishing, ability to hold up the ball and bringing others into play, coupled with a keen understanding of the game. His pace and ability to play down the flanks make him perfect for how Lopetegui wants his team to play.

His pace could help Los Merengues break down stacked defences (something it has struggled with this season). He will be a perfect replacement for Benzema and could combine very well with Bale, Asensio, Isco and the other forward players.

Florentino Perez should expect a rough time from the acclaimed sporting director, Ralf Ragnick, and any bid for the player, who has already scored 2 goals this season may likely start at the £70 million mark.
