Real Madrid tried their heart and soul in pursuit of Kylian Mbappe’s signature in the summer transfer window. They did not succeed despite submitting multiple bids for the French International. Everyone expected the transfer saga to end on a positive note for Los Blancos. However, Mbappe signed for Paris Saint Germain on a three-year deal.
Mbappe’s deal: A failed venture
Madridistas were quick to resent his behavior after he called Real Madrid his possible future destination. Mbappe’s previous contract was up to June 30 and the French outfit was trying to get some advantage on monetary terms. Nevertheless, they successfully retained the player after turning down a 200 million euros bid from the Great Whites.
Initially, the youngster commented on his last-moment change of heart as he believed in the project in Paris. He later supported his decision to stay with the France president Emmanuel Macron suggesting he continues his career in his own country.
Real Madrid has reportedly kept aside Kylian Mbappe away from their shortlist. There is no plan and the intent is pretty clear not to venture into Mbappe’s signing in near future. Carlo Ancelotti seems to have other strategies to build a sustainable squad for the future as well as to improve their current run being the Champions.
Real Madrid’s plan for the future: Jude Bellingham
Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, and Casemiro formed a formidable trio that overshadowed other top clubs in Europe. Kroos has been consistent since his move from Bayern back in 2014. Luka Modric aged like fine wine and peaked to win the Balon D’Or defeating Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to the title. Brazilian powerhouse Casemiro joined the Great Whites at a tender age but left for Premier League giants Manchester United for a new challenge.
Madrid boss Carlo was steady as he brought in Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni to fill in his boots. Both show great potential and they are an investment for the future. It is quite similar to how Ancelotti nurtured Fede Valverde to become an absolute beast in the middle of the park.
With Luka Modric and Toni Kroos nearing their retirement, Real Madrid is looking into the market. Jude Bellingham is at the top of their list. It is quite clear that the Englishman is playing amazing football for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. The 19-year-old is the heart of attack for the Black and Yellows. Top European clubs including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea are in the race for his signature. A few months ago, the youngster expressed his favor towards the Merseyside as his possible destination, as per Cadena Ser.
However, Real Madrid has a healthy relationship with the Bundesliga side. If Los Blancos match any Premier League club bid, Dortmund may be reluctant to lose the starlet. Luka Modric currently signs on a rolling contract that renews at the end of every year. The 37-year-old is still putting on stellar performances and is a bliss to watch every time he takes the pitch. Nevertheless, Ancelotti is considering Bellingham as his top priority for next year’s summer transfer window.
