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.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian national team are ‘dreaming’ of appointing Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti as their next manager.
The Selecao decided to part ways with Tite after the team underdelivered in the FIFA World Cup 2022. Ramon Menezes has taken charge of the senior team for the time being until a permanent appointment is made.
And, the Brazil Football Confederation is clear about who their preferred target is. Ancelotti has been heavily linked with the South American nation in recent months and comments from players like Ederson, Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Jr have only served to further fuel the rumours.
Now, Romano is claiming that Brazil dream of naming Ancelotti as their manager and are hoping that he will be parting ways with Real Madrid at the end of the season.
As far as the situation at the club is concerned, Romano states that Real Madrid are working hard to protect Ancelotti from external pressure as they want him to remain focused on winning the UEFA Champions League this season.
The Italian tactician remains in 100% control of the team at the moment and the club are trying to shield him from external factors.
However, at the same time, trophies are a must at a club of this stature and hence, Romano adds that Real Madrid have a potential list of candidates to take over.
Thomas Tuchel was among the names on the list, but has signed for Bayern Munich. Raul Gonzalez, currently in charge of the Castilla team, is also being looked at along with former Tottenham and PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino.
As of now, Ancelotti remains in control of things at Real Madrid and any decision on his future will only be made at the end of the season. And, Brazil are lying in wait to pounce if an opportunity to sign the Italian manager presents itself.
