PSG is leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit to extend the contract of Kylian Mbappe. Losing on the multi-million dollar star is not an option for the French side. However, the price they’ve put up for him also makes things difficult for other clubs. Facing a $432 million roadblock has lowered the motivation of Real Madrid to sign the player. A Real Madrid icon came forward to suggest a $31.7 million alternative to the La Liga giants.

Things have been crazy since the summer, with Mbappe doing his best to ease his way out of the club. The French striker knows he won’t be able to leave without making the right moves. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are also weighing their options.

Real Madrid icon tells Los Blancos to consider an alternative for Kylian Mbappe

Guti, a former Real Madrid midfielder, had his say on the lack of strikers at the club. Guti is aware of the desirable Mbappe signing but asks his former club to focus on the issues the club’s front line is facing. In an interview with El Chiringuito, the former Almeria manager discusses the other potential targets.

Guti sheds more light on who he believes the La Liga giants should switch their focus on as he says, “I really like Nico Williams for Madrid. There is a lack of Attack players, we have to do self-criticism.” After Real Madrid’s recent defeat against Atletico Madrid in the league the need for an outright striker is being felt across the club.

Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams has a price tag of $31.7 million. The Spanish international has been sensational for Valverde’s side having already provided 4 assists in 4 matches in La Liga this season. A young talent that Guti believes is the missing piece of Carlo Ancelotti’s side.

Real Madrid has been heavily linked to Kylian Mbappe for two consecutive summers now. Speculations suggest there was an initial plan to bring him next summer but with Benzema’s exit, Real Madrid is in quick need of a replacement. A roadblock of $432 million stands in the way of the La Liga giants.

Real Madrid’s $432 Million Gamble on Mbappe’s contract decision

Real Madrid’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappe comes with a staggering price tag of $432 million. A move widely regarded as tactless considering the exorbitant cost involved. While Mbappe’s exceptional talent is undeniable, such an investment raises questions about financial prudence.

Adding to the complexity, Mbappe is entering the final year of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. This will potentially allow any club to secure his services for free after a mere 12-month waiting period. This prospect poses a stark contrast to the astronomical agent fees and wages that Real Madrid would need to commit to in order to bring him to the Spanish capital this season.
