Real Madrid’s Obsession with Kylian Mbappé: Will He Be the Next Galactico?

Because Real Madrid have never hidden themselves: they are very interested in their profile. What’s more normal ? Young, spectacular, high-profile and successful, they bring together all the characteristics that stick to Madrid values. In the not-so-distant past, Bondy’s rocket was closer to signing at the Bernabeu than the Norwegian. But what about today? For L’Equipe, to ask the question is to answer it. Without possible hesitation, Kylian Mbappé has the advantage. Explanation.

Statements that do not mislead

The exit of a White House board member did not go unnoticed last month. “Mbappé had the opportunity to sign for Real this summer but given the amount of money that would have had to be paid a year before the end of his contract, it made no sense,” commented José Manuel Otero during a Twitch live from Remontada Blanca. “Relations between Mbappé and Florentino Pérez have never been bad. Real has always left the door open. We hope he will have the same idea as Bellingham. I’m confident.”

For Otero, there is therefore only one possible outcome: “If he is sincere, Mbappé will say that he regrets having extended (in 2022). He will experience glory when he signs for Real. I’m confident he’ll say yes when he’s free. Zinédine Zidane came at 29 years old. Mbappé will come at 25. He was born to play for Real.”

These statements prove that Real Madrid do not hold grudges. According to L’Equipe, Mbappé is one of Florentino Perez’s obsessions. And this, despite his about-face in 2022 which caused the president to lose face. Certainly, he has lost a lot of credit with the supporters, but this resentment will go away as quickly as KM7 scores goals.

Since the departure of Benzema, Carlo Ancelotti’s team has been without an international striker. No one expected Bellingham to reach such a level so quickly and, above all, with such performance (13 goals in as many games). While Joselu, if he is not unworthy on the attacking front, does not have the media aura nor the sounding board of a KM7.

Mbappé, the right profile?

Financially too, Mbappé is more affordable than Haaland. His contract ends in 2024 and the Madrilenians obviously take a very positive view of not depositing a single cent into PSG’s accounts. To sign for Real, the rocket will also have to lower his salary which is estimated by our colleagues from L’Equipe at 70 million euros annually. A chasm when we know that Vinicius Jr earns… 10 million. According to El Chiringuito, whose information is not always reliable, Real would be ready to offer him half of what he earns in the City of Lights. After touring the Parisian capital, money should not be number 7’s primary driving force.

For his part, Haaland would receive a little more than 22 million euros per year. But he is under contract until 2027 and is estimated at 180 million euros by Transfermarkt. However, the amount could explode since Manchester City is in a strong position. The cyborg has other advantages. Already, he has no dispute with anyone in Spain. In addition, he has a profile that would fit better in the current Blancos squad. With him, Real would buy a pure number nine. The surface is his playground. While Mbappé, even if his talent can take him anywhere, is currently an all-around player. The left flank is particularly well occupied by Vinicius JR at Real Madrid. The Brazilian extended his contract this week and, like the other two, is eyeing the Ballon d’Or in the short or medium term.

One thing is certain: the arrival of Haaland or Mbappé would signal the return of the Galactics. We already wish good luck to the journalists who will have to choose the next Ballon d’Ors in the years to come.
