Real Madrid is financially unable to do so, according to President Florentino Pérez Galácticos to attract. In an interview with the radio program El Larguero he calls attracting Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland ‘impossible’ for every club due to the lack of the Super League. Pérez thinks that no club will be able to attract one of the two talented forwards this summer now that the Super League has ended.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Mbappé and Haaland of Borussia Dortmund have been frequently associated with a transfer to Real Madrid in recent months. Pérez considers it unlikely that a top European club will have enough money in the coming transfer period to attract one of the two players. “In general, there will be no major transfers this summer,” said the chairman of the Royal. “If money doesn’t flow from the rich to the poor clubs, everyone will suffer. Without the Super League it is impossible to make purchases like Mbappé and Haaland. Not just for Real Madrid, but in general. ”

Mbappé is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until mid-2022. He has not yet made a decision about his future, making a departure from PSG an option. Pérez makes no secret that the French international is high on the wish list. However, attracting the very expensive attacker seems a bridge too far for Real Madrid. “If we don’t sign Mbappé this summer, I don’t think there will be a single supporter who will shoot himself in the head. They all know we’re doing our best. And if things don’t happen, it’s because it’s impossible. ” Pérez emphasized that a reinforcement must be added from an offensive point of view. “Our attack is full of youth players, so we have to do something. We have a great defense and a great midfield, but something needs to be added at the forefront. ”

Also defensively, Real Madrid seems to have to strengthen itself. Sergio Ramos has not renewed his expiring contract, while Raphaël Varane has been linked with a transfer to the Premier League. “If players don’t want to stay with Real Madrid, they can leave,” said Pérez about Varane’s situation. About Sergio Ramos: “We have not yet reached an agreement with him. I love him like a son. I have done everything, the ball is now with him. ” With the arrival of David Alaba, Real Madrid anticipates the departure of one of the two center-backs. The man comes over transfer-free from Bayern Munich and signs a five-year contract according to various media. Real Madrid has yet to officially confirm its arrival.
