Talking about his concerns for a new no. 9, Carlo said, “I say this because Karim Benzema has an age. And even though, of course, he’s doing very well. We never had any kind of problem with that. The project for the future of the club is to sign a 9, because Karim is the age he is. It’s true that Karim has had his ups and downs. But Rodrygo has progressed, Asensio has progressed.”
