Real Madrid Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Kasper Dolberg, Domenico Berardi

Gianni VerschuerenJul 22, 2017

Real Madrid have reportedly identified Ajax's Kasper Dolberg and Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi as possible Alvaro Morata replacements if they can't land AS Monaco's Kylian Mbappe.

Per Marca, the two young talents are seen as more affordable and attainable than Mbappe, who continues to be linked with a move to a top club this summer but could end up becoming the most expensive player of all time.

Dolberg and Berardi are top talents in their own right, but the two would likely accept a smaller role to start with in the Spanish capital. By bringing either in as a replacement for Morata, Borja Mayoral could be sent on loan again.

The chase for Mbappe still isn't over, but Monaco have no intention of letting the youngster walk and are using every trick in the book to scare away potential suitors. They took to Twitter recently with this statement:

While the Frenchman is seen as the finest young attacking talent in Europe, Dolberg isn't far behind. The Dane bagged 23 goals last season, per the report, an excellent return for a 19-year-old.

Dolberg cooled off somewhat as the season wore on, but his talent was evident, and without him, Ajax likely wouldn't have gone on a deep run in the UEFA Europa League. He has all of the physical tools to be a top striker, along with excellent instincts and technique.

Berardi has long been regarded as a top talent, but injuries limited the 22-year-old last year. The winger has been somewhat overlooked this summer but could end up being a huge steal for interested clubs―when healthy, he's an incredible talent.

The Italy international already has multiple double-digit scoring seasons in Serie A under his belt, impressing from the wide areas. He has problems with discipline―he's finished with more bookings than goals in the past two domestic campaigns―but is well worth some of the headaches.

Morata spent just one season with Real before departing once again, leaving for Chelsea. The Spaniard proved an excellent back-up last season, and finding a dependable replacement with similar upside could be tricky.

Mayoral has potential, but he likely won't be able to have as much of an impact as Morata did. Real have few other options―depth in the attacking third is limited, with Mariano Diaz now plying his trade in Lyon.
