Real Madrid return to action tonight as they take on Inter Milan in the International Champions Cup in California. Los Blancos are still missing some players who were involved in the World Cup, so boss Carlo Ancelotti will have a mix of experience and youth in the side.
The Madrid-based papers are focusing on transfer talk again this morning though, and this time it’s the search for a number nine. Despite having a wealth of attacking options, only Karim Benzema can really play the number nine role, and the club just sold Alvaro Morata. Jese Rodriguez is expected to be out injured until around November and will take time to get up to match speed again,
So according to Marca and AS, Real are looking at two names – Radamel Falcao and Romelu Lukaku. Falcao already knows La Liga well thanks to his time with Atletico de Madrid and is believed to be keen on a return to the Spanish capital. Meanwhile, Lukaku’s future at Chelsea looks all but over after Jose Mourinho, whose last trophy of any sort was the Spanish Super Copa two years ago, opted to take 36-year-old Didier Drogba back to Stamford Bridge.
Finally, ex-Los Blancos player David Beckham was at UCLA to watch his former team train yesterday. When asked about the signing of James Rodriguez, he said it was brilliant for the club and the Colombian showed what a talent he is at the World Cup.
