Like many football fans, Kylian Mbappé was probably in front of his television yesterday afternoon, for this lovely Clasico between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. If the Catalans clearly dominated in the first period and could have shaken the nets of Kepa’s cages on several occasions, the Merengues resisted, then they made the difference in the second period thanks to a still exceptional Jude Bellingham. However, we could see that despite the victory, Carlo Ancelotti’s team still has some gaps ahead that the PSG star could well fill…
It must be said that within a few months, everything indicates that Kylian Mbappé will defend the colors of Casa Blanca and will also challenge FC Barcelona. His contractual situation in Paris is not changing, even if the Iberian press recently speculated on a last minute proposal from PSG. A desperate attempt which clearly had no effect, since the Bondynois is still free in a year. The Merengues have been the big favorites to win it for years now, and optimism and confidence reign in the Spanish capital on this subject.
A magical trio with Vinicius?
Even if there has also been talk of possible plans B for Mbappé in the Iberian media in recent hours – Santi Gimenez, Lautaro Martinez or Julian Alvarez have been cited – he remains the club’s priority objective. And he might not be the only star to arrive in Barajas next summer, since in his show El Chiringuito de Jugones, presenter Josep Pedrerol revealed a little bombshell. He thus made it known that Florentino Pérez’s objective is to recruit Kylian Mbappé… and Erling Haaland.
The journalist, close to Madrid management, has no doubt about the intentions of the Merengue president and affirms that Real Madrid will try to afford the two players. If there should be no problems with Mbappé, who will a priori be free if nothing changes, it logically looks more complicated for Haaland. There is this famous release clause of 200 million euros which activates in 2024, but it is an amount which remains very substantial for the Merengues, who have rather been cautious and measured in recent years. Just as we imagine that Manchester City will have no intention of letting go of him. To be continued…
