Amid the ‘Mbappé Case,’ Florentino Puts Another ‘9’ Name on the Table: Not Haaland
The ‘Mbappé saga’ is about to conclude, according to reports coming from Paris. The French player is expected to make a decision about his future in the coming weeks, with some sources suggesting he won’t wait until the end of this month.
At least both clubs involved in this case, PSG and Real Madrid, will know where they stand and have time to plan for the next season, knowing in advance whether they will have the Parisian forward or not.
In the event that Mbappé renews with Paris Saint-Germain, the alternative of Haaland is deemed very expensive. His release clause is €200 million, his salary at City is twice that of Bellingham at Real Madrid, and, in addition, a signing bonus would need to be deposited, taking the total cost of the transfer to €400 million, something unthinkable for Florentino Pérez, who has managed finances and sports brilliantly.
Florentino has an alternative to Mbappé and Haaland, costing €100 million Therefore, the president of the club has brought another name to the table: Victor Osimhen, who remains in Real Madrid’s orbit.
The Nigerian has a release clause just over €100 million, making his signing very attractive. If Florentino gets tired of Mbappé, and the situation with Haaland becomes complicated, he will go for the Napoli striker.
Florentino won’t go crazy to bring in Mbappé, Haaland, or Osimhen; Real Madrid is impressive, and Endrick arrives in the summer All of this is considering that with Vinicius and Rodrygo in the front line, supported by Joselu and Brahím, Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup by overwhelming Barcelona, finished first in the Champions League group with a perfect record, progressed through the Copa del Rey round without difficulties, and ended the first half of the season as joint leaders with Girona in La Liga. With Girona’s draw in Almería, Real Madrid could become sole leaders if they win the postponed match due to the aforementioned Super Cup. Additionally, Endrick is arriving, and that’s a big deal.
