It’s been a tough time for Real Madrid, starting with their boss and ending with their fans. Everyone, without exception, saw Mbappe in the white shirt. The reality and the final decision of the player were completely different and the Frenchman chose to continue playing with PSG. In recent days they have tried to come to terms with a situation they do not want to happen and it will be difficult to recover from.
Kylian Mbappe controls the latest transfer markets for Real Madrid. Everything was done based on the arrival of the French striker. In fact, after Paris Saint-Germain refused to negotiate last summer, Eduardo Camavinga joined Real Madrid as a second deal after David Alaba.
Throughout the summer of 2021, rumors about a possible interest by Real Madrid in one or another Camavinga stopped in order not to confuse and endanger Mbappe’s desire (which he said) to play for Real Madrid.
They didn’t want any situation to make the Frenchman jealous, and as such they were looking for the perfect scenario, where nothing would bother Mbappe. Even history repeated itself throughout 2022. Erling Haaland was in the spotlight, but at Real Madrid they dismissed him because he is not compatible with Mbappe. Now neither this nor that.
Now the question Real Madrid is asking is if there is a possible alternative and the answer we got at the club is that the team and the crest is above any player, but the world of football is voracious and will look for an alternative. What they are clear about is that no money will be paid for a player who does not meet the expectations set by the club. They won’t go crazy looking for the first attacker to cross their path.
Ancelotti and the sports administration point to the need to sign a new striker, as a replacement for Benzema, from whom two seasons are still expected at the highest level. Now we have to see the impact of Mbappe’s continuity on PSG and how the pieces fit together. There are not many strikers who can replace Haaland or Mbappe, but the ideal injury is the search for a replacement, because Jovic and Mariano will not continue.
The goal now is to consolidate positions that might be questioned in the current team. While waiting for Ceballos’ future to be resolved, the first goal will be to try to finish the deal for Monaco midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni.
