Despite 100% No to Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid Still Believes PSG Star is the ‘Last Piece in the Jigsaw

Kylian Mbappe‘s summer transfer saga may have come to a close, for now. The enigmatic attacker has been a long-standing target for Los Blancos. Despite getting no response from Mbappe, the club’s hierarchy remain steadfast in their belief that he is the ‘last piece in the jigsaw’ for the storied club’s future.

In a latest episode of famous podcast, sponsored by The Athletic, the center of the topic was Real Madrid’s next chapter and how does Kylian Mbappe fit into their narratives. Let’s delve into why Kylian Mbappe remains the object of Real Madrid’s unwavering desire.

Real Madrid’s ambitious pursuit of Kylian Mbappe

Since his meteoric rise at AS Monaco, Kylian Mbappe has has sent shockwaves across the soccer world. Real Madrid identified the star forward as a generational talent early on, recognizing the potential to shape the club’s destiny. However, after repeated moves from Galacticos, he has so far resisted all advances. In a recent episode of the Tifo Football Podcast, host Jon Mackenzie asked Jose Perez, a famous analyst and columnist for Football Espana, “How does Mbappe fits into the club’s narrative?”

To which, Jose Perez replied, “Madrid identified him [Mbappe], when he was still at Monaco, a generational talent, and they wanted to get him then, and ever since. Florentino Perez has really closely identified with the battle for Mbappe. It’s even gotten into like, how it’s a battle for Madrid’s old heritage against PSG’s new money.”

While the current stance from Real Madrid’s hierarchy suggests they are willing to move on from the pursuit of Mbappe, their actions speak otherwise. Perez added, “You can tell, in the way that they [Real Madrid] haven’t signed another forward, they still believe, he is that last piece of jigsaw. He can bring Madrid up to the next level.”

In an era, where Real Madrid prided itself on acquiring the world’s best talents, Kylian Mbappe embodies the spirit of the ‘Galacticos.’ If he arrives at Real Madrid next season, he could rekindle the fire among Real Madrid fans and send a resounding message to the world that Real Madrid is still committed to competing at the highest level of the sport.

Why Mbappe is so important to Real Madrid?

Mbappe is also a young player with the potential to be one of the greats for many years to come. He is only 23 years old, but he has already achieved so much in his career. He has won a World Cup, a Ligue 1 title, and a Champions League runners-up medal. His prolific goal-scoring ability, dribbling skills, and attacking creativity are a few reasons Madrid wants to sign him.

After the departure of Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema, Real Madrid are actively looking to bolster their attacking ranks. With the club still going without a prolific striker, it is evident that they envision Kylian Mbappe in their plans. Mbappe would be a perfect fit for Real Madrid’s style of play. He is a quick and direct player who would thrive in the club’s counter-attacking system.

The pursuit of Kylian Mbappe by Real Madrid is not merely a transfer saga; it is a declaration of intent. Whether this chase culminates in success or not, one thing is clear: Real Madrid is determined to keep the flame of competition burning at its brightest.
