Ex-Chelsea Midfielder Zola Recommends Victor Osimhen over Kylian Mbappe for Real Madrid.
Former Chelsea midfielder Gianfranco Zola has suggested that Real Madrid should consider signing Victor Osimhen instead of Kylian Mbappe.
Despite Los Blancos’ ongoing interest in Mbappe, Zola believes Osimhen would be an ideal signing for Los Blancos.
‘There are many big names such as Mbappe, Erling Haaland, and even Osimhen, who I see as a perfect fit for Real Madrid. Mbappe is slightly different from Haaland, and I don’t think Manchester City will let Haaland leave easily,” Zola said.
“I might choose Mbappe, given his talent and personality; he is the right fit, but he is more of a winger than a striker, so in my opinion, Haaland or Osimhen would be better as they are classic centre-forwards. Every coach has his own vision.”
Osimhen, who could potentially depart Napoli next summer after failing to secure a contract extension, has reportedly garnered interest from Chelsea.
The Premier League club is eager to secure the services of an experienced forward following their disappointing start to the season.
