Mbappé at Real, it's over!

According to Cadena Ser, Real Madrid have made the decision not to recruit Kylian Mbappé next season.

Is this the end of the Kylian Mbappé soap opera at Real Madrid? According to Cadena Ser, the Spanish club has decided not to recruit the French striker next season, even if he decides not to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, and thus finds himself on the market. There would be three reasons for this choice of the Merengues.

The first reason is financial. The arrival of Mbappé would explode Real Madrid’s salary scale. The Bondynois would claim at least 20 million euros per year, and undoubtedly significantly more. An XXL signature bonus should be added in the event of free arrival. It’s far too much for Real, especially if we compare to the 9 million euros per year received by Jude Bellingham, the new Madrid star.

The second reason is due to Mbappé’s age. The captain of the France team will be 26 years old in 2024, and Real has made a habit of recruiting much younger players in recent years such as Bellingham, Tchouaméni, Camvinga, Vinicius, Rodrygo or even the new nugget Endrick, 17 years old. only. This allows the White House to better amortize the investment made, with players of the future.

Finally, last point, a good part of the management of Real Madrid still keeps in mind Mbappé’s about-face two years ago. The Merengues thought they had the word of the former Monegasque, but he finally decided to extend his contract to PSG. This has “created a negative climate among club members”, explains Cadena Ser. And for Mbappé, the train to Madrid may never return…
