It was revealed that Mbappe has reached an agreement with Real Madrid, and Haaland is also expected to join
The transfer rumors between Mbappe and Real Madrid have been a must-have program in January and summer in recent years, and Mbappe's transfer news has been overwhelming shortly after the start of 2024. A few days ago, according to the chief reporter of French media footmercato, an agreement has been reached between Mbappe and Real Madrid, and the player will transfer to Real Madrid this summer.
Mbappe's contract is now at a sensitive time, because his contract expires this summer, so at this time he can negotiate a new contract with other teams, but because of his particularity, there is only one team that can really afford him or the team he really wants to join.
Regarding Mbappe's attitude, if there were still people who believed in previous years that he really wanted to go to Real Madrid, then after the farce of 2022, the outside world's perception of him has changed a lot. Whether he wants to earn a lot of money in Paris or really wants to go to Real Madrid seems to be a difficult question to explain.
At present, his contract with Paris contains a huge loyalty bonus clause, which is said to reach 75 million to 80 million euros, and Mbappe himself may feel that he is very unhappy to take this money, so the mainstream theory is that Mbappe will give up this money. And now, according to the French media, Mbappe has reached an agreement with Real Madrid, and since the contract expires, then he will join as a free agent.
There is no way to confirm whether this statement is true or not, because there have been too many statements between the two sides in recent years. As for the Qatari side, they can't accept Mbappe's free departure, but they should also know that every time the contract is renewed for 1-2 years, it is only a matter of time before Mbappe leaves the team for free. Therefore, it is not surprising that Mbappe did have a free transfer this summer. However, Mbappe also needs to face the reality that he is not very young anymore, and tossing and turning like this every year has little practical meaning for his personal career.
The question of Mbappe's fate has now touched the hearts of French fans, who very much want him to stay in Paris, because there is a European Championship in July this year, and the Olympics will be held in Paris in August, and fans want to see Mbappe lead the French team to win the European Championship and the Olympic Games, so that he has a good chance of winning the Ballon d'Or in October.
Now Real Madrid is not panicking, because Bellingham's performance this season is very good, and the addition of Mbappe is not a relief for the current Real Madrid, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. According to media reports, if Mbappe joins Real Madrid, his annual salary will be as high as 25 million euros, and Real Madrid's highest annual salary next season Vinicius and Bellingham will only have a salary of about 10 million euros. Therefore, Real Madrid does not want to break the existing salary structure, which will make the rest of the team's core players unhappy, so Mbappe also needs to make compromises in terms of his salary.
There is also news worth paying attention to, some Real Madrid insiders said that Real Madrid is now very rich in funds, they can not only sign Mbappe, but also be able to sign Haaland, these two are the peerless double pride in today's football, if they can join Real Madrid at the same time, then Real Madrid will once again become the much-anticipated galaxy battleship.
