Florentino Perez has laughed off more questions of Kylian Mbappe and Alphonso Davies becoming the latest ‘Galacticos’ at Real Madrid.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Blancos president is famed for his recruitment policy that sees the best players on the planet lined up for transfers to Santiago Bernabeu. There is no sign of that approach being tweaked heading towards the summer of 2024.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Real are said to have an agreement in place that will see World Cup winner Mbappe join them as a free agent when his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires. Bayern Munich left-back Davies is another being lined up for a big-money move.
WHAT PEREZ SAID
Perez, though, is giving little away when it comes to high-profile signings. After seeing a fan tell him “you have to bring Davies and Mbappe – with them, we are going to win everything”, Perez jokingly responded by saying: “Who is Mbappe? Who is Davies?”
WHAT NEXT FOR REAL MADRID?
Real are reported to have a lucrative contract ready for Mbappe to sign, while he could be joined in the Spanish capital by Canada international Davies. He has not agreed fresh terms at Bayern, leading to talk of Madrid lining up a €40 million (£34m/$44m) approach for the 23-year-old’s signature.
