According to a report from Defensa Central, Viktor Gyokeres, one of the standout forwards of the current season, has made it known that Real Madrid is among his dream destinations.
The Swedish striker, currently thriving in front of goal, reportedly has a shortlist of seven clubs he would love to join and Los Blancos feature prominently on that list.
However, despite the flattery, Real Madrid are not considering Gyokeres as a target for the summer window.
While his performances have not gone unnoticed by the club’s recruitment team, including influential figure Juni Calafat, the consensus within Valdebebas is firm: There is no need to strengthen the forward line.
The reasoning is clear. The club already boasts what many consider the most complete attacking trident in world football, with Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappe, and Rodrygo forming a lethal front three.
And behind them, Endrick is waiting in the wings — a generational Brazilian talent who is expected to become a future star at the Santiago Bernabeu.

With this much talent already available and the attacking system performing at an elite level, Real Madrid see no justification in investing €100 million in another striker.
The club is instead focusing its energy and financial resources on other strategic areas, such as midfield depth and defensive reinforcements.
This decision also signals Real Madrid’s continued belief in their long-term project. The signing of Endrick from Palmeiras was a major move in securing the future of the club’s attack, and all signs point to him being gradually integrated into the first team.
There is confidence among the hierarchy that the Brazilian, supported by the creativity of Jude Bellingham and the explosiveness of Vinicius and Mbappe, will ensure the team remains competitive on all fronts for years to come.
While Gyokeres, who has scored 43 goals and 11 assists, may dream of wearing the famous white shirt, timing and squad dynamics are not in his favour.
Barring a major change in circumstances or an unexpected exit, Real Madrid have no intention of entering the race for his signature — no matter how prolific his goal return may be.
