Real Madrid preparing video footage for Mbappe’s potential arrival this summer – report
PSG are removing all signs of their ties with Kylian Mbappe, such as taking down his image from their stadium and stopping sales of his shirts at the club’s official and online stores.
At the same time, though, it appears that Real Madrid are starting to make preparations for the Frenchman’s possible arrival before the summer transfer window closes.
Video footage being readied to welcome Mbappe
Indeed, according to journalist Rodra, Real Madrid are already working on preparing video clips and footage for Mbappe’s presentation, should he end up making the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Despite the board continuing to insist that there is no chance for the Frenchman to join this year, it appears that every scenario is still very much open.
In fact, recent reports went as far as suggesting that there is a growing sense of optimism at Real Madrid about Mbappe’s arrival before the window slams shut.
And now, the preparation of video footage for his presentation only goes on to reinforce the idea that the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner would be making his way to the club.
However, it must be noted that Rodra adds that Los Blancos had prepared videos to welcome Mbappe to the club last summer as well, but the Frenchman made a last-minute U-turn and decided to continue with PSG.
This time, however, things are different as the bridges between Mbappe and PSG appear to be completely burnt.
The Ligue 1 champions have plans to banish him to the stands for the new season if he does not accept to leave before the window closes.
And Real Madrid are lying in wait to make a move as soon as Mbappe accepts to leave, with a €180 million offer ready to be launched.
Journalist Arancha Rodriguez has claimed that Real Madrid forward Brahim Diaz played the Las Palmas game with a dislocation in his right shoulder, which actually happened last Sunday during the derby match against Atletico Madrid.
The news was later confirmed by the forward’s father, Sufiel Abdekalder, who told The Athletic, “Yes [he had dislocated shoulder], but we didn’t want it to be public. Our 100% focus was on the match.”
The former AC Milan loanee started his first game of the season and it was his goal that marked the beginning of Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Las Palmas.
The 24-year-old was later replaced in the 57th minute but by then, the Los Blancos had already established a two-goal lead.
“I’m so proud, you can’t describe the feeling, it’s something unique. I can only thank the fans because I’ve had an incredible welcome. I’m very happy to be here and play for this badge,” the forward said after the game.
Special outing for Diaz
The Las Palmas game was the first time that Diaz started a game for Real Madrid.
The versatile attacking midfielder found himself among the five alterations made by Carlo Ancelotti following the disheartening derby performance against Atletico Madrid last Sunday, a game where Diaz was only introduced in the 70th minute.
The 24-year-old seized the opportunity with both hands, scoring the opening goal in what was a comfortable outing for the team.
Given the competition at hand, Diaz has been forced to settle for substitute appearances this season but fans have witnessed his unwavering dedication during this time.
The love he received from the Madrid supporters was shown when he was substituted during the second half.
While it is unlikely that his run in the first-team will continue, especially since Vinicius Jr. has now returned, the 24-year-old must continue to keep his head on the ground and work towards achieving the common goal this season.
