And that the arrival of former Borussia Dortmund star, Jude Bellingham put an end to their search for Benzema’s replacement.

“Osimhen is one of the best strikers in Europe but we never thought about him. With the arrival of Bellingham, we thought about compensating Benzema’s departure in other ways,” the experienced Italian manager said, as quoted by MadridXtra.
