"In the spotlight" - Russian national team sniper F. Smolov

"Marca" reports that Madrid's "Real" club recently had a meeting of club officials and decided to try to acquire some players in January, including strikers.

The source mentions that there are two main candidates in the "white" focus who could strengthen the team. These are Timo Werner and Mauro Icardi. However, it will not be easy to acquire either of these players this winter.

"Marca" does not rule out the possibility that "Real" could unexpectedly invite Russian national team football star - 27-year-old striker Fyodor Smolov.

It is noted that "Real" has been closely monitoring the game of this Russian for several years. The player himself is close to the western culture, speaks English fluently, and the Spanish capital club has no doubts that F. Smolov could easily integrate into the team.

Since 2015, F. Smolov has been very successful in the "Krasnodar" team, scoring 10 goals in 15 matches this season.

The striker recently had the opportunity to test his strength against representatives of "La Liga" - the Russian national team competed against Spain and F. Smolov scored a brace.
