“I haven’t made my decision, I haven’t made a choice. But with the agreement I made with the president this summer, whatever my decision, we managed to protect all parties and preserve the serenity of the club for the challenges to come, which remains the most important.

(…) With Vinicius, Mbappé and Rodrygo, Real Madrid would have a formidable attack. For me it’s reckless to say that Real Madrid doesn’t need it.”. As you will have understood, opinions differ…
