Kylian Mbappe may never sign for Real Madrid after ‘betrayal’ – report
The news of Kylian Mbappe staying at PSG came quick and fast on Saturday and was even officially confirmed by both club and player in the night. Needless to say, the Real Madrid faithful are still coming to terms with what was more than just a bad dream.
The fans of the Spanish club had already considered Mbappe to be a Real Madrid player, going so far as to give him a standing ovation when he came to the Bernabeu earlier this season. Now, blood boils at the offices in Madrid over what is considered nothing short of a ‘betrayal’.
According to reports from Melchor Ruiz, it is very complicated for Mbappe to sign for Madrid in the future. The club is disappointed and angry with the player for his sudden decision to renew his contract.
His new deal in Paris will see him at Parc des Princes until 2025 with a massive boost in salary. It is said that several high profile individuals, including the president of France, had a role to play in ensuring his continuity in Ligue 1.
It is vital that Los Blancos do not splash their money in the hope of finding a replacement star signing in June. The saved wage cap can now be used to reinforce positions like defensive midfield and right-back that require urgent attention.
As for the forward line, Real Madrid still boast of one of world football’s strongest forces without Mbappe. Karim Benzema, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes will be the first choice trio for Ancelotti, and will only get better as the season progresses.
Madrid play against Liverpool later this month in the final of the UEFA Champions League. A win in Paris would be the perfect way to cap off what has been a spectacular season for the men in white.
Arda Guler’s Real Madrid stint has not gotten off to the start he would have hoped to have given the expectation that preceded the transfer.
Having joined in the summer after Real Madrid outbid their competition to win him over from Fenerbahce for a 20-million-euro fee, buzz was high as the winger was expected to slot into the team quite seamlessly, albeit on a rotational basis.
Unfortunately for the 18-year-old, he has been constantly marred by injuries since completing the move.
Reports have stated that after Guler picked up his third injury since his move, Real Madrid have been concerned and want to take things slow with the player to ensure he is fit as soon as possible after an injury to his quadriceps this time.
The Turk is yet to make his competitive debut for the club, and Real Madrid even sacked their medical chief in November, in light of their injury crises since the beginning of the season.
No loan deal for Guler
However, according to Fabrizio Romano in a recent YouTube video, he states that Madrid maintain full trust and patience in the youngster.
Despite his bad luck with injuries, the latest of which he is scheduled to return from after Christmas, the Galacticos have no intention of loaning out Guler to Turkish clubs despite lots of speculation of them doing so of late.
Romano states that Madrid remain firm on not shaking things up too much with the squad, and they want to keep their roster stable, including Arda Guler.
They want to extend their full support and protection to the player as he aims to return to full fitness and finally make his bow for Madrid either by the end of this month or in 2024.
