Specifically, the Spanish newspaper said that not all members of Real Madrid’s upper echelon support signing Mbappe. Accordingly, there is another group of members who want to use the budget approved by the club for the plan to welcome the French star to switch to a pure striker.
The name mentioned here is Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker is considered a suitable person in both quality and playing style to inherit the position and number 9 shirt of former captain Karim Benzema.
The reason the above group does not approve of recruiting Mbappe is because this deal will cost too much of the club’s finances. According to Marca, the French striker will receive a bribe of 130 million Euros, along with a net salary of 26 million Euros/year if he agrees to sign a contract with Real Madrid.
This protest group also expressed skepticism about Mbappe’s true purpose when he has not made any specific move to show that he wants to stick with Real Madrid in the future. They are worried that the 2022 scenario will repeat itself, so the club needs to soon switch to another plan.
For his part, Mbappe affirmed that he has not made any decision about the next stop in his career. According to Mundo Deportivo, the French striker has at least 3 clubs to choose from next season including Real Madrid, PSG and most recently Liverpool – the team said to be interested in recruiting Mbappe to replace Salah.
