Daniel Carvajal admits he expected Kylian Mbappé to join Real Madrid. And not only him from the royal team. The right-back is all the more happy about Jude Bellingham. He had never experienced such good acclimatization in Madrid.

Mbappé and Real Madrid: Carvajal believed in it
MADRID. The refusal to extend his expiring contract. The club’s demand to sign a new contract, otherwise there will be a sale soon. The ultimately interim expulsion. In July in particular, there were absolutely legitimate hopes in the Real Madrid cosmos that Kylian Mbappé would move from Paris Saint-Germain to the Royals for the 2023/24 season.
Due to those developments also counted Daniel Carvajal strong with the fact that the French superstar is finally coming to the Spanish capital. And he was not alone in Carlo Ancelotti’s team with these thoughts.
“I will not lie”
“I’m not going to lie and say it wasn’t talked about. But there were all sorts of opinions. ‘I think he’s coming. I don’t think…’ I thought he was coming. When he didn’t go to Japan with PSG and Real Madrid is his option if he leaves – at that moment we thought his signing was imminent.”revealed the 31-year-old in an interview with the Spanish football portal RELEVO: “Then everything got mixed up and he didn’t come.”
As a leading player and now the third captain, has Carvajal possibly asked general manager José Ángel Sánchez about Mbappé? “No, we asked the French, ‘Listen, is this guy telling you something?’ – ‘No, no, neither do we…’”, according to the right-back. The team includes three Frenchmen, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchoauméni and Ferland Mendy. Will there be four with Mbappé from mid-2024? Carvajal: “We will see. He’s one of the best and the best have to play at Real Madrid.”
No obligation in 2023 either: Real remains inactive with the PSG star. Continue reading
Real Madrid: What excites Carvajal about Bellingham
Despite the once again unsuccessful transfer of the 24-year-old, madridismo still enjoys a mega commitment. Jude Bellingham knows how to convince as a central attacking midfielder in a 4-1-2-1-2 and has already scored five goals after four appearances.
Carvajal is also enthusiastic. “I wasn’t there when players like Cristiano (Ronaldo) or Sergio Ramos settled in when they came. But since I’ve been here, I’ve never seen such an acclimatization. Not only athletically, in this respect he shows performances at a very high level. Also in the dressing room, in the relationship with the teammates. He’s a player who comes under a lot of pressure and has cost a lot of money. The focus is on him. From the first moment he has conversations with his fellow players, talks to one and the other, makes jokes… He trains and then stays to work. He’s a fantastic down to earth boy to me.”said the veteran.
