I mean, why not listen to City's pitch...? Nothing wrong with listening to proposals.'Mbappe met with Man City reps before announcing his official departure from PSG...'
bahaha
I would love to see it just for the anger from everyone...
Didn't Real Madrid kind of thumb their nose at KMbappe saying 'we already have 5 of the worlds best footballers...' (if they weren't able to sign him).
Looks like it, doesn't it.I mean, why not listen to City's pitch...? Nothing wrong with listening to proposals.
But by all accounts, the Madrid move is basically guaranteed at this point.
They repeatedly said "Real train only comes once". 5 years total.'Mbappe met with Man City reps before announcing his official departure from PSG...'

Yes, Real Madrid have the best young talent in the world at this moment no doubt, while it is a nice problem at which point does it become problematic? They have to start managing playing time and ego.
It's weird that many players all want to stay in Real Madrid for all their career until they are eventually kicked out because they are out of flavour or they need to finance another expensive purchase. While it is a nice problem for them, it is a bit crazy how all world class footballer gravitate toward that club even wonderkids.
I have a feeling Ronaldo was shown the door as well as Odegard, Hakimi, Hazard, Bale (although they were forced to keep him), Theo Hernandez, Jesé, Moriata, Isco, Casemiro and that is just from memory. Other players like Kubo, Gutierrez could also be considered although they were never featured with their main teamOn the contrary, I'd say Real is quite faithful to its aging stars. Still have Modrić and Kroos for example, players like Pepe or Ramos played there as long as they wanted to from what I could tell.
what? u mean spain? Portugal is mediocre in handballThat's Portugal
Good at fencing.Used too, not really anymore.
Collective sports is our forte.
Arguably the best in football, handball and volleyball. Among the best in rugby, basketball, etc...
We suck at hockey though, so that's terrible.
They never were in the running. It's called trying to leverage a better offer from Real Madrid. They don't want another club than Real Madrid but no doubt Florentino know that and is lowballing MbappeKonate already took Liverpool out of the running for Mbappe.

You also dominated the world of rallying for like 15 years in a row.
I trust Carlo to manage egos and rotate the squad when needed.If I had to guess the odd one out for Madrid will probably be Rodrygo first. Unless Vini randomly decides he doesn’t wanna play with Mbappe (highly doubtful)
For the midfield. No idea, maybe Fede? An EPL club is eventually going to throw a ton of money at him.
The major aspect in all of this is that Mbappe will definitely not get as much money in a contract if he ever decides on Arsenal or Real compared to Qatar/PSG. This isn't to say these clubs are poor, but we live in a post-Covid world where La Liga was hit by the financial implications of the lockdowns. I think him going to Madrid is as good as done, but he will surely take a loss on his bank account overall.Mbappé is holding all the cards, he should absolutely take the time to listen to everybody who wants to make an offer.
On our side, we should absolutely stick to our financial frame and not overbid. Mbappé is the best player in the world, but we do not absolutely NEED to have him. I want him, he would be a wonderful addition, but there are other options to improve at striker... and we need CBs.
He will get a significant part of his image rights though and playing for Madrid does make one's brand better.The major aspect in all of this is that Mbappe will definitely not get as much money in a contract if he ever decides on Arsenal or Real compared to Qatar/PSG.
