In light of the necessary need for a “super” spearhead, the Frenchman succeeds Karim Benzema, who completed 35 years last December, to play as his replacement, until the 2022 Golden Ball winner hangs his shoes or moves away for any reason. The Spanish Real Madrid administration targeted an attacker. A promising young man who plays in the Italian club Atlanta, and some describe him as “the new Haaland”, but he holds Danish citizenship, not Norwegian, and his name is Rasmus Hoylund, and he is only 19 years old.
And the newspaper “Sport” stated that the inclusion of the Danish boy might compensate for the failure of “Real” to include any of the “two phenomena”, Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, who renewed his contract with his club Paris Saint-Germain, and Norwegian Erling Haaland, who preferred to move to Manchester City.
Rasmus Hollund arrived in Atlanta last summer, coming from the Danish Storm Graz for 17 million euros, and he is an unquestionable scorer, and this season he scored 11 goals in the various competitions he played with Atlanta, and made 5 other goals in 24 matches, although he does not play in matches. Many, but come down as an alternative.
And Italian press sources stated that Hollund enjoys physical fitness, a wonderful “form”, and distinguished skills, and is very similar to the Norwegian striker Halland in his playing style and physical strength, and it is possible that he represents an important addition to Real Madrid as a substitute for Benzema in the event of his absence for any reason.
And the newspaper “Sport” said that the promising striker may be a surprise to the “Merengue” in the current “winter Mercato”.
And if the 19-year-old English midfielder, Jody Bellingham, the German player of Borussia Dortmund, is a priority for the “royal” contracts, then the difficulty in including him is due to Liverpool competing with him to win the deal, even if the player’s desire is directed towards the “Santiago Bernabeu”.
The Spanish newspaper indicated that the need for a midfielder at this time is not urgent or urgent, given the presence of distinguished stars in this line, in addition to their being young, such as Camavinga (20 years), Chuamini (22 years) and Federico Valverde (24 years).
As for the situation with regard to the attack, and specifically the center of the spearhead, it is really critical, because there is no real alternative capable of compensating for Benzema’s absence from injury or departure, in addition to the possibilities of his level declining with his old age.
Rasmus Hollund, who celebrates his twentieth birthday on February 4, started his professional career in Copenhagen “2020-2022”, and moved from there to Storm Graz “2022”, then traveled to Italy to play for Atlanta last summer.
Hollund played for the U-17, 19 and 21 youth teams, and was promoted to the first Danish national team in 2022.
