Ndombele seems more and more like one you shouldn't miss on. There haven't been any direct connections with Madrid though. Also both wouldn't be impossible this summer. If Ndombele were around €80M, even spending asinine in Pogba (€140M?), we'd be below €500M total spent. That seems crazy but with the amount of assets we could offload our total expenditure could be around €100M. We're most likely offloading... Kovacic James Theo RDT Mayoral Isco Lucas Llorente Ceballos Vallejo Navas If we needed money badly we still could offload.. Reguilon Asensio Mariano I don't believe we'll move Asensio even though I think it would be best. I slso haven't even taken into consideration Bale because many of you think we either can't offload him or can't get a return on him (I don't believ this to be the case). Anyways the longer teams wait the better for us imo. There will become more desperation and more attention to our assets which will no doubt become desirable.
Dunno if it was posted but last night for the first time MBappe didn't confirm that he will stay at PSG next season when interviewed by spanish journalists. When asked about coming to RM, he replied that "it is not the time to talk about RM" + smile.
Thats what I am worried about. Kroos lack of work rate, only having Casemiro as a true DM. Modric getting old, Isco is not really a centre mid. Yet we get rid of Llorente/Ceballos
Do you think in anyway, Nasser gave Mbappe his word that if he wanted to leave after a couple of seasons in PSG to RM he would allow it, just to convince him to join PSG in 2017? Mbappe said something about Nasser being a man of his word didnt he?

Amazing work so far... but a top CM is needed to make this almost complete (that is assuming Vinícius will be the king on the right).
From El Confidential: - MBappe's father told RM that his son wants to join RM now. - MBappe has enough of Neymar getting every privileges instead of him (I know Neymar is a diva but as much as I want him here, if MBappe thinks RM will treat him like the most important person in the world, I hope he realizes he's wrong) - MBappe's father told RM he evaluates his son value at 230ME. - RM told MBappe's father that PSG, and them have a non-aggression pact, and that they don't plan to break it. - RM will only make a move if PSG tell them personally that MBappe is on the market. - So far, PSG told RM that MBappe is nontransferable. - There is another big problem that MBappe's father has difficulties to resolve. - When MBappe signed his new contract with Nike, they (MBappe's family, and lawyer) accepted to put a clause that Forbids MBappe to be transfered to a club sponsored by Adidas.

I still don’t believe these things. Mbappé seems like he is really good friends with Neymar. Why would he be jealous? And Mbappé’s famil must be really stupid to accept such a clause. They knew the chance is big to join Real in the future, why accept it. Don’t believe that either.
So any thoughts on our possible playing style(s)? I saw the article that Vinicius is being planned to play on the right, which I would like since then his play time is not limited to when Hazard isn't playing. But I think (based on nothing) that maybe it's more likely that Zidane goes with a Benz/Jovic combo up top. With Benz as a support forward roaming around Jovic, maybe possibly even taking the right AM position if we don't change the set-up: ........................Jovic............................. ........................Benzema..................... ........Hazard..................Modric............ ..............Kroos..........Casemiro............ Mendy......Varane....Ramos...Carvajal .......................Courtois.......................
Welcome to the Zidane revolution Hazard - Benz Isco - Kroos - Modric - Pogba Marcelo - Ramos - Varane - Carvajal Vinicius - Jovic Isco - Case- Valverde - Lucas v. Mendy - Nacho - Militao - Odrio
