Real Madrid will wait until 2024 to get Mbappé. This is the trend that seems to emerge when reading the Spanish media since the start of this new episode. This morning, the daily The Team revealed the first contacts between the club from the Spanish capital and Paris Saint-Germain. By intermediary, that said, since the relations between the two clubs are quite bad. But it is the first more or less official approach of the summer, always according to the media.
Only, in Spain, we insist: Real Madrid does not intend to go on the attack this summer. There COPE Padlock put a coin back in the machine and align ourselves with what is being said almost everywhere among our neighbours. The radio confirms that a well-placed source at the club told him that the Madrid staff will not try to recruit him by the end of August. And for good reason, enlisting Mbappé this summer is considered a “ruinous operation” by merengue makers.
Mbappé, the new David Beckham?
Real Madrid prefers to wait a year and enlist him for free, especially since in this case, they know that they should not have any major competition since the player’s wish has been, for years, to land at the Bernabéu. Only, the COPE Padlock wanted to put into perspective and analyze a little these remarks that the Madrid management constantly filters in the media. The journalists of the media, in the debate which followed, made it clear that personally, they do not necessarily believe in the words of the Madrid bosses.
For many, this is all just a bluff and Real Madrid will really try to recruit Mbappé. But to believe otherwise in public would facilitate the successful outcome of the operation. The people of Madrid also do not want to enter into a communication battle interposed with PSG. Other examples, such as the Beckham case, are cited. In 2003, when asked about the Englishman’s possible transfer to Madrid, Florentino Pérez was asked about Real Madrid’s alleged interest in the Mancunian star and he replied, in English, “never, never, never (never, never, never, editor’s note)”. A few weeks later, the English international was presented to Real Madrid. Mbappe, Beckham 2.0?
