Real Madrid do not want distractions in their plan to take over Mbappé. A dream that seemed (or seems, there are days until the final outcome) headed towards 2022 but can be brought forward a year. That is why the white entity is directing all its efforts to see if it can bring the French crack this summer and does not listen to any of the possibilities that the market seems to throw at it. Neither the return of Cristiano, quickly deactivated even by Ancelotti, nor Lewandowski's intention to immediately leave Munich (Madrid does not contemplate the Pole) nor future possibilities that are available. They are the cases of Aouar (23 years old, Lyon) and Tchouameni (21, Monaco), two young talents from Ligue1, have been offered but the white club is not for the work either. It's Mbappé or nobody.
Among other reasons, economic. Madrid has collected a significant amount in the last two summers (€ 185M) in sales and that money has always been thought of being used to alleviate the effects of the pandemic and, if there was the possibility, to catch a glove on Mbappé or Haaland. Kylian is a difficult but far from remote possibility, hence any approach by a star outside of Chamartín is cut short. “Neither Carlo has asked Cristiano nor the club has considered his return,” several Real Madrid sources told AS the morning after the news released by Edu Aguirre in El Chiringuito according to which Ancelotti had requested the signing of the Portuguese. Ancelotti himself came out quickly on his Twitter. The slogan is clear. Show Mbappé that he is expected and that all efforts will be directed to him.
The future bets are already at home
Madrid prepares for him barrage of rumors of the final stretch of the market and so that possible deals are put on your table in the form of last minute transfers through agents and intermediaries. The priority is Mbappé or, if PSG finally does not give in, he lowered any concept, wait until 2022 for it to arrive for free and go with everything for Haaland. The entity is aware that the board has changed and Expenses like those of Jovic, Odriozola, Mariano and even Militao are unthinkable nowadays and it is better to put all the chips in a single box, that of a crack, and wait to convince free agents as it has happened with Alaba. There are also sports reasons. Madrid estimates that investing now in a footballer who does not improve what there is is wasting bullets because it has a good quota of young people to develop (Vinicius, Rodrygo, Valverde, Militao …).
Some red lines that he does not intend to cross and less in a week in which the future of Mbappé is still to be written. The only name that Madrid is pending.
