Real Madrid are seeking an immediate and temporary replacement for their currently injured centre-forward Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Several top strikers have been rumoured to be potential targets to replace the prolific Dutchman : Crespo, Shevchenko, Vucinic, D.Milito and Tevez, but now two Germans are being considered as the latest candidates : Mario Gomez (23) of Stuttgart and Miroslav Klose (30) of Bayern Munich.
While Klose seems to be a quite unrealistic option, Gomez could very well be the most concrete and perhaps only possibility for Real Madrid in January. Real's chairman Calderon (seen in the picture) will decide soon.
