Real Madrid had enough salary margin to sign Mbappe in the summer, claims Tebas
After La Liga revealed the salary caps of each club, it was established that record European champions Real Madrid have very little to worry about. After all, the team from the Spanish capital is allowed to allocate €727 million across various departments.
Interestingly enough, Real Madrid find themselves in the enviable position of having a substantial surplus from the staggering €727 million that currently stands as the highest salary cap in the league.
This reassurance, of having the spare, comes straight from the recollections of two prominent figures: Javier Tebas, the president of LaLiga, and Javier Gomez, the corporate general director, both emphatically affirming the club’s financial prowess.
Kylian Mbappe could have been incorporated
Adding to the story, SPORT has mentioned that while this limit has allowed Madrid to sign Jude Bellingham, Tebas has suggested that they could have easily incorporated the arrival of Kylian Mbappe as well as another player.
“With the salary limit that Real Madrid has, it was enough for Mbappé and another player,” affirmed Tebas.
In this intriguing turn of events, the president of the league signals a green light for Real Madrid to finally embark on the much-anticipated voyage of securing the signature of the French sensation.
Tebas would welcome Mbappe at Real Madrid
For what it is worth, neither the luring incentives, the hefty transfer expenses, nor the staggering salary demands stand as obstacles for Madrid to acquire Mbappe.
All this indicates that the Los Blancos may swoop in to acquire his services should the opportunity present itself in the forthcoming summer.
Regardless of the twists and turns, both Real Madrid and Tebas share a keen interest in the prospect of Mbappe donning the royal white.
This is because it will signify the acquisition of one of the finest talents in the sport, which, commercially, is perfect for La Liga.

Bellingham on his special assist in Girona 0-3 Real Madrid: “Been watching Luka every day”
Real Madrid usurped the top spot in the La Liga standings from arch-rivals FC Barcelona as they defeated Girona 3-0 away at Estadi Montilivi.
It was a fine performance from Carlo Ancelotti’s men against Michel’s side, with the returning Jude Bellingham leading the way for his team.
After being benched against Las Palmas in midweek, the England international returned to the starting XI today and turned in yet another Man of the Match display for Real Madrid.
It all started with Joselu opening the scoring just 15 minutes into the game, with Bellingham assisting the goal with a special, outside-of-the-boot pass from the left side, bringing back memories of Luka Modric doing something similar a few years ago.
Talking about that special pass, Bellingham said: “I’ve been watching Luka every day for months. I just want to be creative. It took the pressure off us at the start.”
On the match and the result, the 20-year-old stated that it was a good day across the board for Real Madrid, as he said: “It was an important win. They were doing very well. We made a statement of intent to La Liga. Three goals, a clean sheet….”
It has been a truly remarkable start to life at Real Madrid for Bellingham and expressing how he feels to play for the Merengues, he exclaimed:
“I feel very good. I have freedom of movement and I’m enjoying football. Whenever I put on this shirt I always try to do my best.”
Apart from assisting Joselu’s opener, Bellingham also got his name on the scoresheet in the second period. Talking about his goal, the wonderkid said:
“It wasn’t a very good finish. I could have scored some more, but the important thing is the victory.”
The strike meant that Bellingham now has seven goals and two assists across all competitions for Real Madrid. Reflecting on his brilliant start, he said:
“It’s a good start, not bad. I would like to continue on this path and I won’t always score or assist, but I will always give my best.”
Bellingham’s celebration has been a huge hit, with kids in school, players from other clubs, and many others mimicking it. When asked how his special celebration originated, he replied:
“I don’t know where I first celebrated. I think it was with Birmingham. It’s an inspiration to see kids doing it in schools. It’s a wonderful thing.”
