There appears to be no concrete ρłɑɴ atReal Madridfor the centre-forward situation. Joselu’s signing was a step in the right direction, but one knows that having just three attacking options for an entire season is far from the test Carlo Ancelotti wants to be put to.
Los Blancosare in dire need of at least one more elite forward signing. However, the ρłɑɴning and management of the situation thus far has been haphazard.
As unhealthy as it is,Real Madridhave decided to base their entire transfer window around the hope of signing Kylian Mbappe. The club’s contacts with potential alternatives have all hit a dead-end asLos Blancoswait for clarification from France.
According to reports fromL’Equipe, theMerengueshave dropped theirinterest in Randal Kolo Muani. He joins a list of names including Harry Kane and Dusan Vlahovic who the club seriously considered as options but dropped hoping for Mbappe’s arrival.
The 24-year-old forward was instrumental in Eintracht Frankfurt’s Bundesliga campaign last season. In 32 starts, he scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists, racking up 11 big chances created in the same duration.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich have the Frenchman on their radars, and it is clear that he will make a move to a bigger club this summer.
Needless to say, Real Madrid’s withdrawal from the race, potentially because of his€80 million price tag, comes as a massive relief for the aforementioned parties.
All eyes are now on Florentino Perez to see how he handles the situation with Mbappe. The prodigious superstar is indeed closer than ever to joining his dream club, but there is undoubtedly a tangible difference between close and complete.
