Real Madrid want to make three blockbuster signings, including Mbappe, Bellingham, this summer
Despite Spanish media trashing rumours linking Kylian Mbappe to a move to Santiago Bernabeu this summer, it appears English media is once again rekindling the speculations.
According to a recent report from Sky Sports, Real Madrid are planning for a spending spree this summer. They are in contention to sign Jude Bellingham, with the club only left to reach an agreement with Borussia Dortmund.
But in addition to Bellingham, Real Madrid are keen on signing both Mbappe and Alphonso Davies once the season ends.
Davies’ name has been linked with Real Madrid in the past, especially with the club bracing themselves for the potential sale of Ferland Mendy. The Frenchman is reportedly a target for Premier League giants Arsenal.
Davies could be an ideal long-term solution for Los Blancos in the left-back position. But as for Mbappe, the situation might be a whole lot trickier.
Fabrizio Romano has stated earlier this month that signing the Frenchman will be near impossible as PSG would be keen on keeping hold of their star man, especially with both Lionel Messi and Neymar in contention to depart Parc des Princes.
The Sky Sports report indicates Mbappe is technically entering the final year of his contract at PSG, as his three-year contract has been spread in a 2+1 manner. That means the player is eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement in January.
As for Bellingham, Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has denied receiving any offers for the Englishman. He has also hinted that the club might hold out for a hefty figure for the services of the star midfielder.
With the pursuit of Bellingham likely to take a heavy financial toll on Real Madrid, it is unlikely the club will be in a position to finance the deal for either Mbappe or Davies.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.
