If Mbappé Doesn’t Give the ‘OK,’ Offer for Another Star the Next Day: Madrid Has a Clear Plan
A new episode of the Mbappé saga has begun. We are in the crucial weeks to determine the future of the French forward, but Real Madrid will not deviate from its course.
Kylian Mbappé, starting January 1, will be free to negotiate with Real Madrid. The French forward, as in 2022, is in control of his destiny, though Florentino Pérez is determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Everything is in the hands of Mbappé, who is aware that this is his last chance to join Real Madrid. Now or never.
Real Madrid is clear that Plan A is still Mbappé, and in the first week of January, they will go for him. But if he hesitates or doesn’t give the green light, the plan will shift to pursuing Haaland and ‘showing’ City that they are willing to pay his release clause in the summer. Remember that the Norwegian striker has exit clauses in his contract, which become active this year.
“Our players may feel they have their destiny in their hands,” said Rafaela Pimienta, Haaland’s representative. Besides, Haaland dreams of wearing the Real Madrid jersey, knowing it’s the next step in his career. However, all of this is contingent on Mbappé’s future, and he will have to make a decision sooner rather than later.
Roadmap Mbappé remains the number one option for Florentino Pérez, who has set his conditions. Real Madrid doesn’t want more soap operas; they won’t jeopardize their planning again.
The white club emerges as the most likely option for Haaland, whether in 2024 or 2025. “Madrid has something of its own, like the dreamed-of land for footballers,” said Rafaela Pimienta about Real Madrid.
