Real Madrid remains determined to secure Kylian Mbappe, even amid the club’s recent form struggles. Despite their current situation, the club is reportedly willing to make tough decisions, including the possibility of parting ways with Vinicius Junior, if it helps keep the French superstar in the team.
Real Madrid is currently focused on securing Kylian Mbappe as a central part of their future plans, despite the club’s recent dip in form, which has left them in second place in La Liga. The club has reportedly considered the possibility of letting go of Vinicius Junior if it helps facilitate the probability of keeping Mbappe.
According to Cadena SER, Real Madrid has made Mbappe their top priority, and they might be open to listening to offers for Vinicius Jr., especially given the difficulties in renewing his contract. The 24-year-old winger, valued at €126.4 million, is also attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League.
There is growing concern at Real Madrid about the possibility of receiving a massive €1 billion offer from the Gulf for Vinicius Junior, despite his crucial performances in key moments for the club in recent seasons. The club had strongly supported Vinicius for this year’s Ballon d’Or, even choosing not to attend the ceremony after Rodri won the award, a decision that faced heavy criticism from the media.
