Real Madrid would finally get their Galactico with Kylian Mbappe

Real Madrid are on a hunt for a big-money signing in the not so distant future. And according to the new reports coming from AS, Florentino Perez has already made up his mind – he’s going for Kylian Mbappe.

What’s the word, then?

Mbappe to Real Madrid is not really a fresh story.

After all, the young French prodigy has been on Real Madrid’s wishlist for quite a while now. In many ways, he represents exactly what the club needs to become Galacticos once again – a star signing, both in cost and quality.

The same source also mentions that this would indeed be a costly venture.

After all, we’re talking about a super talent who has already lifted the World Cup and for that reason, it could take around €300m (£242m) to convince Paris Saint-Germain to part with their gem, as AS explain.

But at the end of the day, you can’t really put a price on a revolution, can you?

Galacticos once more

Throughout the summer, we were all expecting Real Madrid to pillage the best clubs in Europe and build a formidable squad capable of conquering the world.

And despite spending around €300m (£242m) in the summer transfer window of 2019, no such thing has happened and the media were quick to bash the club for it – especially as they missed out on Neymar and Paul Pogba, two players with huge Galactico-esque reputations.

Whether their rocky start to the campaign – winning only five of nine La Liga games and losing twice in the Champions League – has been a direct result of that or not is a story for another time but quite clearly, they are still in need of reinforcements and someone to usher a new era at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Mbappe truly represents a top prospect that Real Madrid can build their squad around; someone who’s both young and already well-developed to lead.

After all, we’re talking about a kid that already has six goals and four assists in eight games played across all competitions this season, and 39 goals scored in the 2018/19 campaign for the French giants.

But Paris Saint-Germain are not really a selling club. It will take a lot of convincing but if someone can do it, then that’s “papa Perez”.
