While Paris Saint-Germain is currently negotiating to extend Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, the two attackers aged 28 and 22, at the end of their contract in 2022, some rumors announce the tricolor striker in the sights of Real Madrid and then the Brazilian keeps doing dream of Barcelona with a possible return. But withESPN, the journalist Julien Laurens affirmed that the Madrid club could not afford one of the two Parisian stars.
“Today, no one can afford Neymar or Mbappé. Not even Real Madrid. They don’t have the money to buy Mbappé this summer and pay the salary he wants ”
The two Parisian strikers are among the best players in the world and PSG absolutely does not want to part with them. But, if Neymar really seems to be lasting within the Parisian project, this may not be the case with Kylian Mbappé. The latter sees the capital club, essentially as a springboard to then go to a bigger club like Real Madrid.
The Madrid club refused to recruit during the winter transfer window, which proves that the leaders of the Spanish club may be preparing a big file. In order to recruit Mbappé, it will be necessary to have a solid financial contribution. But Real Madrid have never replaced Cristiano Ronaldo, the current 35-year-old Juventus Turin striker who left in 2018 and who had one of the highest salaries in the world.
If they manage to free themselves from one or two other big salaries, anything will be possible during this transfer window. Mbappé is a young player, recruiting him allows a club to have a long-term vision. Recruiting him is therefore an investment, even if it is an impossible mission for many clubs today, anything can happen in the world of football.
