In the summer of 2024, Kylian Mbappé realized one of his childhood dreams. That of joining Real Madrid.
A transfer which blocked another… Federico Pastorello, agent of Romelu Lukaku, revealed that his client could have signed for Real Madrid during the 2023 summer transfer window.
Yes, but the scheduled arrival a year later of the captain of the Blues prevented the Belgian striker from coming to the Spanish capital. A regret, obviously.
“They were already focused on the big transfer of Mbappé”
“I think Real Madrid are the best club in the world for many reasons. I have to be honest and say that there was an opportunity, at a time when it was not clear where Romelu was going to go and with Ancelotti as coach. They were thinking of strengthening the attack, but they were already focused on the big Mbappé transfer for the following year and did not want to spend on a loan », revealed Federico Pastorello to A.S..
And to conclude: “ So let's say there was an opportunity, because Ancelotti would have wanted it. He always had respect for Lukaku, but unfortunately, it did not materialize. »
