Tick-tock, tick-tock… The clock is ticking, and Kylian Mbappé has still not extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. In 5 weeks, Real Madrid and the French international will be able to officially negotiate, without PSG being able to have a say. Even if exchanges have already taken place between the Mbappé clan and the Merengue staff for years, this time, everything indicates that this will lead to a contract signing for the Bondynois. But above all, he might not arrive in Madrid alone…
For weeks already, the prospect of welcoming the Frenchman but also Erling Haaland during the same summer has been gaining momentum in the Madrid media. A trend to which Rafaela Pimenta, agent of Cityzen, largely contributes, who does not hesitate to increase the number of media releases leaving a certain vagueness regarding the future of the Norwegian cyborg. This Thursday, the daily A.S. still reveals information along the same lines: Real Madrid will try to enlist the two attackers who dominate – and will continue to dominate – world football.
Real Madrid has enormous purchasing power
But what is interesting in the article in the Spanish newspaper is that figures are given. We learn that recently, Real Madrid has made big savings. The media reveals that the team’s payroll only represents 54% of its turnover. Which is an exceptional result, since the ECA estimates that the balance is reached when salaries represent 70% of the money coming in, and that most European clubs are above. Real Madrid therefore has room to integrate new big salaries into the workforce.
The newspaper states that currently, Real Madrid have 128 million euros in cash, which they can use as they see fit. It is enormous. In addition to this nice jackpot, the Merengues also have 265 million euros in the form of already validated credits that can be used at any time. Almost 400 million euros therefore which should be enough to recruit Erling Haaland – his price would exceed 250 million euros according to A.S. – and Kylian Mbappé, who expects to receive a big signing bonus. So money won’t be a problem!
