Kylian Mbappé’s Preference for Real Madrid and Lukaku as Juventus’s Center Forward

Arabia, no thanks. Kylian Mbappé is someone who still prefers feelings to money. At least for now, given that she is only 24 years old and has a dream in her heart: to win the Ballon d’Or. Last year he had been persuaded to stay in Paris, even influenced by the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, who called him several times to tell him not to go to Spain. The impression, however, is that Bondy’s champion has repented. Kylian still has many years of career ahead of him, he has shown patience, but he is tired of being told what to do, at the cost of appearing snooty. He wants to play in his childhood dream team: Real Madrid and maybe take the shirt of what was his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo. Hard to blame him, given the coat of arms of the Casa Blanca, which has already knocked on his door several times. Florentino Perez was resentful, touched in his pride, when in May 2022 he decided to renew for PSG, but he was patient, pinched himself on the stomach and went straight on. The Real Madrid president can wait another year, wait for Mbappé to expire, but if the right opportunity presents itself and the price goes down, then he would not be caught unprepared. Ancelotti’s team is done, Carletto also reiterated this, who knows perfectly well that he cannot replace someone like Benzema, sole center forward . Mbappé is not a 9, but it would be the icing on an already top-level cake. Kylian meanwhile refused the Arab 200 millionwhich would have become 700 with bonuses and image rights for just one year in the Saudi Pro League with Al Hilal. For 300, on the other hand, PSG had been convinced, but now they can’t do anything but wait. The French therefore find themselves without a clear offensive project, without a striker they can really count on, unless Al Khelaifi retraces his steps and convinces himself to make the most of the last year of his prodigal son’s contract. The accounts in your pocket are difficult to do with a situation like this and the environment doesn’t help, so that Harry Kane preferred the coat of arms of Bayern Munich to the possibility of living and playing in Paris. The Englishman is ever closer to the Germans, who will pay out more or less 115 million euros to take him away from Tottenham a year before the deadline.

Juve, looking for a centre-forward

Guarantee of goals, international experience, but also medium-term planning. What Juventus itself has in mind to fix the attack. Romelu Lukaku is the choice: if PSG were to move decisively towards Dusan Vlahovic, but also if the Parisians were to opt for a different solution, such as Rasmus Hojlund. The Dane likes it, Atalanta has been offered 50 million, who want 70, but Manchester United are offering the same amount, plus 10 in bonuses for the 20-year-old from Copenhagen. And at the moment he is ahead of PSG, who arrived later, but not too late. In short, with or without Vlahovic, Juventus could sign Lukaku, but if the Serbian were to be sold, he would insist more concretely with Chelsea for the Belgian. A round of center forwards that for the moment does not include Victor Osimhen, expiring in 2025 and focused on the negotiation for the renewal with Napoli. Should it fail, even greater scenarios would open up.
