Real Madrid’s new coach, Xabi Alonso, might give the green light for the club to sign Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface.

According to The Athletic, Real Madrid is currently looking for a striker like Joselu—someone who won’t cost too much and is willing to be a backup option.

The team wants a reliable player who can come off the bench and still make a difference when needed.

Xabi Alonso, who took over from Carlo Ancelotti this summer, has reportedly made a personal request to the club to sign such a player.

During his time managing Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso worked with players like Victor Boniface and Borja Iglesias, who fit this kind of role.

Real Madrid is now seriously considering Alonso’s request as they prepare for the new season.
