Former Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes has warned the club against signing Kylian Mbappe in 2023.
Los Blancos were rumoured to have agreed a deal with the French international at the back end of the 2021/22 campaign but he opted to extend his Paris Saint-Germain contract until 2025.
Mbappe’s decision to remain in Paris sent shockwaves through Real Madrid as the club appeared assured of securing a move for the 23-year-old on a free transfer.
Those links have reopened the potential of Real Madrid reigniting their interest in him – despite their frustration last summer – but Morientes believes the club are already strong enough in attack.
“If he gets within range, it wouldn’t seem normal for him to come, after everything that happened in the summer”, as per reports from Marca.
“Today, Real Madrid have no need to sign Kylian Mbappe.”
Morientes’ comments are backed up by the impressive numbers from Real Madrid’s strike force so far in 2022/23, with Vinicius Junior scoring seven in all competitions, and Rodrygo Goes on four.
Wrong perspective.
Rm doesnt need a LW and RW.
Rm needs a striker because Benzema is showing signs of decline.
In the theoretical case of Mbappe signing we could move him to either RW or ST position, as Rodrygo isnt actually a natural RW.
So something needs to happen on that front and we should wait a bit before giving Benz another year. Frankly, he isnt impressing as of now.
But Mbappe is out if question, unless he terminates his PSG contract, comes for free and lowers his salary no way. You love Real you say? Then prove it. Otherwise, gtfo.
On another note, barcelona is talking about terminating piques contract. Could that be the solution for our Hazbeen headache?
