Mbappé to Real Madrid to replace Benzema

Next season, Real Madrid will have to do without Karim Benzema, who has left for Saudi Arabia. Joselu will serve as an interim until the possible arrival of Kylian Mbappé in the summer of 2024.

Real Madrid did not have the desired season… The Merengues club faltered in La Liga and the Champions League.

To make matters worse, the start of this transfer window saw Karim Benzema leave as his contract expired.

While Jude Bellingham has arrived, the English midfielder struggles to hide the fans’ concerns regarding the attacking sector.

For the moment, Joselu will be the only one to replace Benzema. The former Espanyol player has taken the number 14 jersey, not the number 9 of the 2022 Ballon d’Or.

This has raised eyebrows in the Spanish press, including Mundo Deportivo, as they see it as no coincidence…

Has Real Madrid planned for Mbappé?

The media outlet recalls that Real Madrid has never left this number vacant since Alfredo Di Stefano.

Therefore, in the Spanish capital, people wonder if the number 9 isn’t reserved for the imminent arrival of Kylian Mbappé.

Mundo Deportivo highlights that the French star’s future at PSG is very uncertain, as the club is still looking for a new coach.

Subsequent discussions between the two parties will take place to determine the battle plan. And in one of the possible scenarios, a departure of Mbappé from PSG will be on the table.

The summer could be very long for Real Madrid, and the club is doing everything in its power to seduce Mbappé, whether it be this summer or the next.

The Madrid club is prepared for all possibilities. In any case, it is certain that the number 9 is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the former Monaco player, who is currently on vacation after a busy season.

If Mbappé intends to fulfill his contract with PSG until June 2024, he may end up being pushed out by the management, who do not want to let him leave for free.
