Considering that they bought Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008, Kylian Mbappe has been Real Madrid’s most significant objective ever since. As of right now, the Frenchman is widely considered to be the finest player in the world, and it is anticipated that he will retire as one of the greatest players of all time.
After all of these attempts, they have not been successful in persuading him to sign with them, despite the fact that they have been following him for around five years at this time.
They will make another attempt to get his signing in 2024, with the expectation that he will not extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain beyond the current season and will ultimately sign with them on a Bosman transfer.
They have prepared an offer for Mbappe that includes a signing bonus and compensation totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, and they are hoping that this will be sufficient to persuade him.
Nevertheless, it would seem that there is a disagreement inside Madrid, as the club is also considering making a deal for Victor Osimhen, who plays for Napoli, according to a story that was reported by Mundo Deportivo.
A camp known as Osimhen
Osimhen has been considered one of the top attackers in global football for well over a season at this point, and it is anticipated that he will be moving away from Serie A over the summer period.
A number of individuals at Madrid are of the opinion that the Nigerian is a more suitable player for their kind of play than Mbappe. They also feel that his style is more comparable to that of Karim Benzema than it is to that of the striker for Paris Saint-Germain, which will, in theory, also be advantageous for Vinicius Jr.
Furthermore, many who belong to the Osimhen “camp” are concerned that Mbappe’s financial demands are unreasonable.
The sum that Madrid is giving to Mbappe as a signing bonus is sufficient enough for them to cover the transfer cost for the Napoli striker as well as a few years’ worth of earnings.
Should the demand of the Osimhen camp be successful in swaying the opinion of the remaining members of the board and coaches, it is quite possible that Mbappe’s hopes of playing at the Santiago Bernabeu would be dashed in the long run.
