The Bondy native is not the only football superstar Los Merengues are believed to be keen on, though, with murmurs of a possible Erling Haaland transfer having also begun to become more prevalent. LALIGA president Javier Tebas believes that while a transfer for the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is near completion, a move for the most recent Ballon d’Or runner-up is unlikely at this moment. “I would like to see the best in our competitions. I give Mbappe a 99.99% chance that he will play next season for Real Madrid.

Real president Florentino Perez is constructing yet another star-studded squad to maintain the club’s position as one of the powerhouses of world football, and while Madridistas may adore him because of it, Tebas does not believe the power he wields is good for the beautiful game. “Florentino is transversal,” Tebas added.
“With [Silvio] Berlusconi we knew he was right-wing, here Florentino is with everyone. He has a lot of influence, too much…”.
