World number 1 in tennis and Real Madrid fan Carlos Alcaraz wants the club to complete their plan to sign Kylian Mbappe.
Los Blancos are working on two options to bring Mbappe to the Spanish capital as part of their long-standing interest in the France captain.
Paris Saint-Germain remains determined to try and sell Mbappe before the summer transfer window closes after the striker refused to sign a contract extension.
Mbappe is committed to his plan of leaving Paris as his contract expires in 2024, to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, and the Spanish giants will only make a bid this summer if they are forced to do so.
Alcaraz is a lifelong Los Blancos fan and he was asked about his view on the Mbappe saga ahead of the season kick-off.
“Every Real Madrid fan wants to see Mbappe at Madrid. He’s one of the best players in the world today,” he told Diario AS.
Meanwhile, Luis Enrique is planning to start the 2023/24 season without Mbappe.
According to Marca, the instruction to sideline Mbappe came from the club ownership, with Enrique still hopeful of working with Mbappe, but his early plans are being made without him.
Elsewhere, L’Equipe is reporting that Madrid is holding off on making a bid until the player publicly declares his desire to leave PSG.
Speculation is rife that Real Madrid is preparing a whopping €180 million offer for the talented forward, with the club aiming to secure his services before the transfer window slams shut in the last few days of August.
Mbappé began this entire ordeal when he opted not to trigger the option to extend his contract until 2025. The Frenchman will be a free agent next year, which is why Real Madrid could play the waiting game.
Nonetheless, their current striker situation might force them to move rather than wait. These next few weeks will be a wild ride for this saga.
Madrid wants Mbappé; there’s no denying that. However, it seems the Spanish giants want the 24-year-old to state his desire to join Los Blancos publicly.
After Real Madrid was left at the alter last summer, they likely don’t want that to happen again. As a result, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has to convince them to pursue him this summer transfer window….READFULL
