Florentino Pérez is looking for his Galáctico in the summer transfer window but it’s not easy to find. Especially when the president has the most powerful squad in the world. These players have been able to win three times in fours years the Champions League, showing his quality. For this reason, it’s not easy to find players who could add more quality to the team.
Real Madrid boss has learnt the lesson and buying all the best players of the world doesn’t mean to have the best team. The Galácticos team with Beckham, Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Raúl is a proof. Now, Florentino Pérez and Zinedine Zidane have to think on how to improve the team. And they agree that Kylian Mbappé would be a great signing, especially thinking in the future.
The problem with Mbappé is how to fit the French player within the team. Therefore, if the Mónaco player arrives, one star needs to leave. Gareth Bale, at this point, would be the first option to sell. The Welshman is a target for many Premier League teams and he’s been injured the whole season. Besides, he plays in the same position as Mbappé, so the French footballer would be his perfect replacement.
According to the Spanish newspaper MARCA, Zidane and Florentino Pérez agree on signing Mbappé only if Bale leaves. The manager doesn’t see a squad with Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Mbappé. It would be very difficult to control and keep the balance. Besides, the progression of Asensio or Isco will be stopped by these foreign players.
Another option they could consider is signing Mbappé for the 2018-19 season. The French player will be more mature and they can see if Bale improves his performance. Besides, nowadays the Welshman doesn’t want to leave the Spanish capital, where he’s very happy living with his family.
The last thing to consider is Mbappé’s price. Monaco always sell at a very high price, as Florentino Pérez knows with James Rodríguez. The president doesn’t want to spend €100M for a player to be on the bench, as he did with the Colombian playmaker. In the next days we’ll know the steps followed by the Real Madrid boss.
