Real Madrid has let Robinho go to Man City without having a replacement to move into the team, so they are now drawing up a shortlist of targets to prepare for the January transfer window.
According to the Spanish sports journal AS, the Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is the favourite to arrive at the Bernabeau in January, now that the Spanish giants have 40 million euros to spend from the sale of Robinho.
Huntelar will cost around €25million euros, but he is expected to be lined up as the natural successor to Ruud Van Nistelroy, who, although he is still a great goalscorer, is now 32 years old and his body may not be able to take the strain as in previous years.
For a real attacker/winger to replace Robinho, there are not too many choices available and it is said that Aaron Lennon could be the perfect choice. He needs to gain a little stregth, but with the massive array of midfielders at White Hart Lane, it is possible that Lennon may be surplus to requirements by January.One thing is for sure. Madrid will be splashing the cash in January.
