Real Madrid Sells Mahal To Mbappe: Whether You Want It Or Not At All

Kylian Mbappe opens a wide chance to join Real Madrid (Instagram/@k.mbappe).

JAKARTA - Real Madrid still seems to be hurt by Kylian Mbappe regarding the negotiations for the transfer one and a half years ago or in May 2022.

The French player rejected Los Blancos' offer for trivial reasons, still hesitant.

Currently, Mbappe's opportunity to go to the Santiago Bernabeu is wide open. This could not be separated from his decision not to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

This means that Mbappe's contract at PSG will be completed by the end of this season or June 30, 2024.

Madrid immediately rushed. Jose Angel Sanchez, CEO of Los Blancos, and Madrid President Florentino Perez gave a positive signal of Mbappe's recruitment.

This cannot be separated from the news of Fayza Lamari, Mbappe's mother, who is ready to negotiate intensely with Los Blancos. Launching Marca, Madrid is scheduled for next week to contact Mbappe and his lawyer,dalon Verheyden.

This time, Madrid sold a bit of money because they didn't want to be ashamed like a year and a half ago. They will ask first about whether Mbappe is still willing to sign a contract on June 30, 2024 or not.

The contract Draft has also been prepared not much different from the contract document in May 2022 which was finally rejected by Mbappe.

Real Madrid still maintains the same clause a year and a half ago, where Mbappe actually agreed.

The clause in question is a salary of 26 million euros or IDR 441.6 billion net per year and a transfer bonus of 130 million euros or IDR 2.2 trillion.

Madrid are clearly in pole position to get Mbappe. They can do it quickly in January 2024, such as bringing David Alaba from Bayern Munich three years ago.

Moreover, sports laws allow negotiating and even signing contracts with other clubs when the player has the remainder of his six-month contract.

However, it returned to the 25-year-old player. Because selling is expensive, Madrid does not want to negotiate much, let alone compete to increase pay if there are other clubs interested.

The contract's clause has taken into account many things, including the condition of the club's salary structure. Madrid did not want Mbappe's arrival to cause tensions and difficult situations in the dressing room.

Although it is in accordance with the club's salary structure, the figures offered to Mbappe are the highest salaries at the club as well as in Madrid's history.

If Mbappe refuses for any reason, Madrid insists it will close the doors of the French national team's meetings forever. That is, now or never.

You see, Los Blancos are not in a state of emergency adding to the front line of action as in May 2022 when Karim Benzema chose to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.

The current scenario is much different. Mbappe is only included in the club's B plan or in other words alternative. Madrid instead needs to strengthen the defense now.

Not to mention Madrid's slick attack line under the leadership of Jude Bellingham. The English player is increasingly fertile despite his position as a midfielder.

His slick appearance during the half season or to be precise, only five months with Los Blancos has made the price skyrocket drastically. Bellingham is now on par with Mbappe and Erling Haaland as the most expensive players in the world with a tag of 180 million euros.

Madrid's front line regeneration project is also underway as planned. In addition to the presence of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, a testament to the success of the club can be seen in Endrick's long-term projection.

Madrid's position is clearly over the wind when negotiating with Mbappe later. Moreover, Erling Haaland showed interest in joining the Santiago Bernabeu.

This means that Real Madrid are still trying to recruit Kylian Mbappe, but not at any price.
