Too savvy! Real Madrid sat and waited for January to strike, signed Mbappe at 0 price, saved 250 million euros, and was a master trader
There is new news about Mbappe's future every day, but Marca revealed that Real Madrid are calm now, the club has not taken any action, and Real Madrid's plan is to wait until January next year, when Mbappe can pre-sign a contract with Real Madrid and bid 0 in the summer of 2024. Real Madrid do not want a repeat of last summer's events and will need to wait until a crucial point to try to sign a signing, as there is no guarantee that Mbappe will not renew his contract with Paris before January.
According to previous sources, Real Madrid reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, and Mbappe's transfer fee reached 250 million euros, including 200 million fixed fees, and the rest was floating terms. However, Spanish media revealed that Real Madrid has not been in contact with Paris, and Mbappe has repeatedly stressed that his goal is to stay in the team next season. In Paris, the game between Mbappe and the club continues, if he stays for another year he will get 90 million loyalty bonus plus 60 million salary, he does not want to give up these things, and the club does not want Mbappe to leave freely, they also gave Mbappe an ultimatum.
So Real Madrid don't want to get involved, all they have to do is wait calmly and see how things go. If Mbappe plays in Paris for another year as he says, Real Madrid will negotiate in January next year, which will save the battleship 250 million, and they only need to give Mbappe a lucrative contract and then add 100 million signing fees to complete the transfer of the century. Overall, it will be more cost-effective.
After Benzema's departure, Real Madrid's No.9 is vacant, fans naturally expect a superstar to wear this number worn by both Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, Kane's transfer rumours have passed, and now Real Madrid's No.9 will continue to wait for his new owner, Mbappe joining in the summer of 2024 and then wearing the No.9, is the most likely to achieve. As for Haaland, the price for Real Madrid to bring him in is too high, spending at least 200 million euros, and Mbappe, who can be visa-free in 2024, is undoubtedly more exciting to the top.
It's no wonder Florentino said the end of his summer transfer, knowing that Paris Saint-Germain will not let go easily if it will be too difficult to get Mbappe in the summer of 2023. As a "master player" in the transfer market, Florentino has set his sights on the summer of 2024, Real Madrid has a tradition of "one superstar a year" in the transfer market over the years, and has signed Bellingham for 103 million this year, and it is likely to be Mbappe next year.
