Madrid to go for Mbappé, but in France they state that Liverpool are favourites

'Marca' published on Friday that the Madrid board are decided on going for Mbappé. There is a certain amount of regret at the heart of Real Madrid because in 2017 they gambled on Gareth Bale's continuity and didn't strike a deal with Monaco, but a year later Cristiano left and the Welshman failed to make the grade.

4 years later, Mbappé only has a year left on his contract and is waiting for a sign from Madrid. This is what he intended with his declarations, to provoke a step forward for his team and also for Los Blancos, who had been given as favourites until now. The Frenchman made it clear that he would decide this summer whether to stay or renew "for many years".

The breakthrough of Liverpool in this issue has complicated things for Florentino Pérez. In fact, 'Canal+' from France say Liverpool are the favourites thanks to the intervention from Jürgen Klopp, who has been in contact with the player during this time and also because of the club's project.

But meanwhile, 'Marca' insist that Real Madrid are doing their own predictions. Financially it is a very complex deal that will depend on the initial demands of PSG and Mbappé's decision. If he says no to renewing, he is rumoured to be priced at some 150 to 160 million euros by the owners.

Given the current difficult situation, Real Madrid will have to look carefully at their money. They estimate they have some 125 million, but a good part of this sum would have to come from selling players.

They are thus considering including players. According to the aforementioned media. Leonardo looked very favourably on Courtois and Vinicius. The former will not leave, Madrid refuse to put him in the negotiations, but the case with the Brazilian is different. Raphäel Varane could also enter the deal.
