Real Madrid continues to fuel debate in Spain for its choices on the transfer market.
This is a factual observation and difficult to endorse for a Real Madrid lover: Florentino Perez has been much more active in the media than on the transfer market in recent years. The resounding arrival of the talented Jude Bellingham is Real’s only major operation in the last transfer windows.
A calm and a sense of proportion which contrasts with the galactic periods and the constant hubbub in the club environment. Because not a day goes by without the Iberian press or the media affiliated with Real, such as the famous TV show El Chiringuito, mentioning possible XXL transfers in the near future, starting with that of Kylian Mbappé.
The fact remains that Florentino Perez is perfectly aware of walking on eggshells in the Mbappé file. The boss of Real Madrid has therefore adopted a posture: extinguish any rumors and calm things down, systematically. It is with this in mind that Real published an official press release to deny any contact with the Paris Saint-Germain star. A curious process for a club of this size.
Real Madrid’s surprising decision for the transfer window
While Kylian Mbappé has still not extended his contract with PSG, Real Madrid have also sent a clear message: there will be no arrival this winter. And this despite the quantitative limits in the offensive sector, with only Vinicius, Rodrygo and Joselu as professional attackers. “We plan not to sign any players in January, launched Carlo Ancelotti. I think the winter transfer window is closed for us. Eder Militão and Thibaut Courtois (victims of torn cruciate ligaments in August, editor’s note) will return before the end of the season. Nothing is planned for January. In summer, maybe…”. The message got through.
