With 15 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in 19 rounds of the league, Real Madrid leads the La Liga standings with 48 points, but the same points as Girona, who are in second place, do not establish an absolute advantage.
Girona's rise is a bit sudden, but also inevitable, as part of the City Football Group, they are better than most La Liga clubs, although they still receive support from Manchester City in the Premier League.
With Real Madrid's current squad set-up, it's hard to get rid of this rising star, with club president Florentino and scouting director Calafate implementing an "elite signing" policy in the transfer market in recent years, and although a talented and immediate-quality star is added every season, it still leads to a weakness in the squad.
The main reason for this situation is the finances, the budget for the refurbishment of the Bernabeu has skyrocketed from 200 million euros to more than 100 million, and on top of that, they are still eager to sign the Parisian star Kylian Mbappe.
Bellingham has scored 13 goals and provided two assists in 17 league games since his arrival, and there are rumours that the club will abandon the deal that has been tried for two seasons and develop the England star as the number one star of the future against the backdrop of Mbappe's indifference to Real Madrid's pursuit. However, not long ago, TA confirmed that Real Madrid was ready to make an offer directly to the player again in the winter window.
Due to the previous release of pigeons by Mbappe, Real Madrid asked Mbappe to answer on January 15 while giving a direct salary offer, and if he was willing to join, he also needed to sign a written agreement.
Perhaps there is no hope of pursuing the highest individual honours, the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League, in Paris, according to a recent joint report by Santi Aouna, Sebastien Denis and Aurélien Léger-Moëc, among others, Mbappe and his team have reached an agreement with Real Madrid to join next season.
To be honest, the 25-year-old Mbappe is no longer a young player, and they have already won the Ballon d'Or at this age compared with Messi and Ronaldo. Despite averaging more than one goal per game in Ligue 1, Paris is still stumbling in the Champions League. Benzema's Ballon d'Or at the end of his career proves that Real Madrid still has a huge influence in this area.
On the one hand, it is the competitive strength, the aging of the lineup, and the fact that the double can still be won during the transition between the old and the new undoubtedly proves the terrifying strength of the White Army, and the second is the strong capital in terms of business and contacts, which is the absolute confidence of the old giants.
