Real Madrid shortlist a surprising short-term alternative to Kylian Mbappe
Real Madrid are seriously thinking of purchasing Kylian Mbappe, but have also established another alternative to the Frenchman on their radar.
Real Madrid have been brilliant in the transfer market this summer. Signing Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic in a trice has of course been a huge statement from the Whites, but the relatively cheaper transfer fees which they paid for the duo was the icing on the cake. Not to mention, Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao and Rodrygo Goes have checked-in as well.

Eden Hazard’s presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was one of the most attended ones in football’s history, but not all the Real Madrid fans were happy it may have seemed. There were chants by a section of the faithful which wanted Kylian Mbappe signed up from Paris Saint-Germain to compliment Hazard in the attacking department.
Kylian Mbappe has been on Real Madrid’s radar since a long time, but his transfer fee is huge. The Frenchman is reportedly not going to renew his PSG contract, so in another two or three years, Los Merengues will be in pole position to go for him. That said, they have shortlisted a short-term alternative for the World Cup winner, claims Diario GOL.
Borussia Dortmund superstar Jadon Sancho, one of the most highly rated youngsters across Europe is now being pursued by Florentino Perez, as reported by the Spanish source. The England international had been sensational in the 2018/19 Bundesliga, scoring 12 goals and 14 assists and joining Hazard and Messi as the only players to have double digits of goals and assists.
Florentino Perez does not want to sign Jadon Sancho this summer because he wants Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior to have their opportunities. The Real Madrid president though has plans for the Englishman and would include Achraf Hakimi in the deal, so as to reduce the transfer fee that Borussia Dortmund would demand in cash.
