Where do Real Madrid go from here? Their biggest signing since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009…has not joined. Kylian Mbappe announced that he had extended his contract with PSG till 2025.
It marked the end of the most drama-filled transfer saga of the past two years. Florentino Perez had long desired Mbappe, with an intense bidding war ensuing between the two clubs. The La Liga champions need someone else.
Madrid were confident of landing the French superstar, after protracted negotiations with Mbappe’s camp. However, it was all for naught. The whole situation with Mbappe is made even worse in hindsight, given how Madrid failed to go after Erling Haaland seriously.
Therefore, they now have to look elsewhere for the newest Galactico. This is not to say that they need one. Los Blancos are set in attack with the sensational Vinicus Jr., the ageless Karim Benzema, and the upcoming Rodrygo Goes.
It’s a huge personal embarrassment for Perez (enjoyably so), but is this actually such a disaster for Madrid?
Benzema is in the form of his life, Vinicius went up a level this season and they’re still finding out exactly what they have in Rodrygo. 2024 might be better timing

However, Perez is unlikely to settle for what they have and his obsession with superstars will certainly ignite again. So, who are the big names available now or soon? FootTheBall breaks down five names who could end up at Santiago Bernabeu soon.

Salah is a free agent in 2023, and will not be averse to running down his contract as is the norm nowadays.
