Real Madrid to Sign Mbappe?

football playerThe brightest talent of world football – Kylian Mbappe is going to sign for Real Madrid. The transfer fee is considered to be about €180 m! According to Marca, Los Blancos are going to pay now €160 m. now and another €20 m. as bonuses. There is also an option the amount to be separated to €150 m. and €30 m.

If the transfer comes true, this will be a new record for a transfer fee! Just a year ago Manchester United signed Paul Pogba for €105 m. However, if Paris Saint-Germain manage to buy Neymar – the amount for the Brazilian will be the new record for a transfer (€222 m.).

After the end of the previous campaign, there was a huge interest for the Frenchman from Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester City. However, it looked like Kylian Mbappe was going to stay at Monaco. He even signed a new contract, but now the young talent seems to be attracted by Los Blancos.

Mbappe impressed a lot with his performance in The Champions League. Thanks to him, Monaco made it to the semi-finals of the most prestigious European club competition. He scored 6 goals in 9 appearances in the UCL last season. Furthermore, he made it in the most important matches for his team in the 1/8 finals, quarterfinals and the semi-final. Mbappe also scored 15 goals in the French Ligue 1 and lifted the title. In addition, the Frenchman has already made his debut for his nation. Mbappe has taken part in 4 matches for France.

There are lots of comparisons between him and Thierry Henry. The 18-year-old player really reminds a lot of the legendary French forward. However, an eventual move to Real Madrid will be a huge step in his career, especially at his age. Only the time will show if he can fight for a place in the starting XI of Real Madrid, because the competition for the places there is great.

Ibrahimovic To Return In October?

player injuryThe Manchester United’s top goal-scorer from the last campaign – Zlatan Ibrahimovic can be fit within a couple of months. The 35-year-old forward suffered from a bad knee injury in April and it looked like he won’t be ready to return on the pitch until 2018. That’s why Manchester United didn’t extend his contract and released the former Swedish international forward on 1st July.

According to “The Sun”, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s recovery goes better than the expectations and he will surely be fit again in October. The Swedish forward is one of Jose Mourinho’s favourite players and it won’t be a surprise if the Portuguese manager decides to offer Zlatan a contract, in case the player is fit within a couple of months.

The 35-year-old player managed to score 28 goals in 46 appearances in all competitions for The Red Devils last campaign and even though he received that injury, he remained the top scorer of the team for the season. I think he deserves to play at least one more season for Manchester United.

There are lots of offers for the goal-scoring machine. There are rumours, which link him with other clubs from The Premier League, clubs from the MLS and, of course, teams from China. Surely, if Ibra gets well soon, Manchester United will offer him a short-term contract until the end of the 2017/18 season.

However, it will be much more difficult for the Swedish player to find a place in the starting XI, as the club has already signed the Belgian international striker Romelu Lukaku. On the other hand, Mourinho can only be happy if he has a player like Ibrahimovic again in his squad.

At both ends, only the time will show if the Swedish forward will return to Manchester United, or he is going to try his luck in other country. The only trophy Ibrahimovic still hasn’t won is The Champions League. So, his priority will may be at least one more participation in the most prestigious European club competition.
