Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has refuted reports that Real Madrid are no longer interested in Kylian Mbappé.
Tuesday, The SER claimed Real Madrid told Mbappe they would not pursue him next summer, with the French striker just under two months away from being able to sign a contract with the team of his choice. The French striker is just under two months away from being able to sign a contract with the team of his choice, which is partly explained by his three rejections from the club over the last seven years.
However, in his Daily Briefing, Romano made it clear that he was not aware of any such thing.
“I am not aware of any updates or news regarding Mbappé, as I said a few days ago. No news and nothing will happen in November or December as things stand. “
“For me, they need a striker yes, and Mbappé remains the perfect player for Madrid in my opinion.”
This would line up with reports in France from RMC Sport, who claim that not only are Real Madrid still interested in Mbappé, but that this is simply an image strategy. To protect themselves from further potential humiliation, the Whites want to send the message that they do not need the player, should he leave elsewhere next season.
It would not be surprising if this were the case. The reaction from the Madrid media was dazzling, with all kinds of insults being uttered against the Frenchman. Such was the embarrassment of Los Blancos, who had privately announced he would sign with them, that president Florentino Perez felt the need to make a rare public appearance to explain why he had not signed.
