Real Madrid are on the look out for a striker to help them through to the end of the season, club director general Jorge Valdano told Spanish television on Thursday.
Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain was ruled out for up to four months after having back surgery in the United States on Tuesday, and Jose Mourinho's only recognised alternative at centre forward is the inconsistent Karim Benzema."We are scanning the market after the uncertainty over Higuain was resolved," Valdano said."We'll see if we can find a player who can help us for six months. We are being linked with a lot of names but it best not to go into details, but it is true we are looking for a number nine."Local media have linked the club with Bayern Munich's Miroslav Klose and Manchester City's Emmanuel Adebayour among others.Valdano was speaking after Real came back to beat city rivals Atletico Madrid 3-1 in a King's Cup quarter-final first leg, the goals coming from Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mesut Ozil.
