Florentino Perez sacrifices four players from Real Madrid to finance Mbappe signing
Real Madrid had no plans to sign Kylian Mbappe this summer. Florentino Perez had planned to sign the French striker next summer, which prompted him to agree to sign Jude Bellingham, to which Fran Garcia, Ibrahim Diaz and Arda Guler were added.
Naturally, Florentino Perez will not miss the opportunity to sign Mbappe now, for which he has put 200 million euros on the table, the money that will have to be shared between Paris Saint-Germain and the player.
Real Madrid, who has a “yes” from Mbappe, will not put in another Euro, knowing that Nasser Al-Khelaifi will accept, sooner or later. The problem, of course, is that this unexpected signing has to be funded somehow, so Real Madrid will have no choice but to sacrifice some players who were initially unsaleable.
Real Madrid wants to enter between 100 and 150 million euros, and has put 4 players from the first team on the market. They all have great value in the market and come as substitutes in Carlo Ancelotti’s formation, so their departure would not be a huge blow to the team.
First on the list is Mendy, who Real Madrid is coveting between 40 and 50 million euros. The left-back is considered one of the best players in the world in his position, although he has a serious injury problem.
The Frenchman is very weak, which prompted Real Madrid to complete the contract with Fran Garcia, with the aim of becoming the main left-back. If an interesting offer comes to Mandi, he will be sold without hesitation.
If there are no strong offers for Mendy, the next player whose offers will be heard is the tank Tchoameni, who has a fixed price of 80 million euros, the figure that Real Madrid paid to Monaco a year ago.
The Frenchman started the season well, but his performance declined little by little, until he was replaced. Real Madrid’s big bet on the pivotal position is Camavinga, who made the expected leap, and in the club they considered that with the arrival of Bellingham and the renewal of Kroos and Modric, the midfield is already covered.
The third player is Fede Valverde, who is in a similar situation as he also did not shine in the second half of last season. If an offer of between 70 and 80 million euros arrives, the Uruguayan will be sold.
Finally, Real Madrid will listen to offers from Rodrygo, who is in great demand in England. The Brazilian striker will be the number 9 of the team this season, along with Joselo, but with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, everything will change. With French and Ibrahim, the offensive line was covered. Rodrygo would be important if he stayed, but now he can be dispensed with and Real Madrid need the money.
