Days After Snubbing Kylian Mbappe Link Ups, Real Madrid Still Interested in PSG Forward, Claims Sources

It seems the saga between Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid has become a never-ending tale. This summer, fans witnessed the Frenchman get linked for a move to the Spanish capital, but sadly, the deal never ended up happening. While this forced the La Liga side to snub their interest in the PSG forward, it seems the club is still interested after all, as there was a reason behind their public rejection.

Furthermore, the discussions of his arrival were unexpectedly re-sparked by the Halloween costume worn by a star player from Madrid. However, what was Real Madrid’s “100% NO” statement for acquiring Mbappe’s services all about then?

Real Madrid quietly stay focused on getting Kylian Mbappe

The Kylian Mbappe-Real Madrid gossip seems to have become a romantic tale where the passionate betrothed isn’t ready to give up on their love. In this case, the Spanish club is an intense admirer, while Mbappe is the beloved. Just days ago, the club released an official statement to deny the fact that they are in negotiations with the 2018 World Cup winner. However, that was done for a much greater reason.

In reality, the La Liga giants are still interested in Mbappe and will try to sign him next summer. This comes from RMC Sport, which claims that contrary to reports suggesting Madrid’s lack of interest in Mbappe, it appears to be a strategic leak from the club itself. The intention behind this leak was to safeguard the club’s image after they failed to secure his signing this summer.

Apparently, Madrid is taking measures to protect its reputation and is signaling that the onus is on Mbappe to rally the necessary efforts if he truly desires to play at the Santiago Bernabéu. Indeed, this is quite an interesting revelation regarding the Mbappe-Madrid saga. This clearly suggests that the club hasn’t moved on from him after all. In fact, in order to afford the French Bugatti, they are up for a massive sacrifice.

Real Madrid are ready to make a big sacrifice to get Mbappe

In order to have Mbappe, the club will reportedly sacrifice their veteran midfielder, Luka Modric. This came from El Chiringuito TV, which insisted that, as part of the transition, Mbappe would inherit Modric’s iconic No. 10 shirt at the club. Additionally, the Croatian midfielder is also contemplating an exit after enjoying a distinguished career in Spain.

Notably, the 24-year-old star will also receive a salary of $37 million. Hence, the Croatian veteran’s exit would be clinical for Mbappe’s arrival. Notably, Carlo Ancelotti’s side is already in dire need of a striker after Karim Benzema left for Al Ittihad. Nevertheless, only time will tell what happens at this stage.
