Since the summer of 2024, Kylian Mbappé has officially been a Real Madrid player. A club that tried its luck with the Frenchman several times before achieving its goals. This Thursday, we learned that another attacker could have joined Casa Blanca before him. Indeed, Federico Pastorello, the agent of Romelu Lukaku (Naples), revealed to A.S. And Estadio Deportivo that his client could have signed in Madrid in 2023 but that the future arrival of KM10 blocked everything.
“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 Mbappé's big transfer for the following year and didn't want to spend on a loan. 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. A funny revelation.
