We need a team who can compete with City. Last 3 CL they arrived to the final twice, and the one they didn’t we had very lucky with 2 goals in the 90 minutes. Bellingham and F.Garcia is not enough. I’m not sure Benz can replicate his performances last season again. We must have another ST. Harry Kane can be our new Rud Van Nistelroy 🚨🌕| Real Madrid will spend ‘big money’ on Jude Bellingham, hence they want to be smart with the ST signing. @FabrizioRomano pic.twitter.com/1jsw0lAh5e— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) May 28, 2023 by the way… Madrid didn’t spent much in the last seasons in comparison to other teams. Yet, we earned a lot with selling and achievements. I believe we do have like 400M to spend. Where all the 200 million on Mbappe ? If I Flo, I will go this summer with all finance power: Bellingham (signed) AD (Bayern has management issues) Kane (seeking for a team) Reece James (Chelsea isn’t in Europe and must sell) we have the capability
Some won't like hearing this, but Flo & JAS haven't given up on Mbapay. They will offer similar package in 2024 to Mbappe and mom. PSG will again offer twice as much for him to renew. I know which offer his mom will prefer lol. And don't think Mbappe will be "free transfer" if he leaves PSG in 2024. Any club that gets him will have to pay his family 150-200 ME signing bonus.

Sad truth. It's a damn disgrace to let Mbappe toy with our forward-line transfer strategy for +10 years. Meanwhile, Madrid media make it sound like Mbappe and Haaland are RM players out on loan at PSG and City till 2024. Benzema might still accept an offer from Saudi Arabia this summer, that could significantly change our direction.
As per Totem -levy was to sell him for 100 plus and it may not please flo ? in case of hazard we did buy him for 100 M in last year of the contract - Kane is out of the question unless the player do some hard tactic like bale to move levy to consider small bid amount

I would say Firmino on a free and allocate funds to a proper RW option will give us the benefit of having both wide options plus a legitimate option to back up Benz, while also not blocking Rodrygo.
Aside from the expensive option in Diaby, there might be some interesting options for the RW: 1. Havertz on a loan given the loads of players Chelsea have up front. 2. Kulusevski if Tottenham doesn't exercise their option to buy. 3. One of Mahrez or Bernardo particularly if City go after Kvara.
Not even gonna mention Doku? Come on. btw as the person that came up with the whole "Kane as RvN" comparison, I'm still skeptical about the idea of buying him. Hes a linkup player like Benzema, having two of those playing at the same without speed out there is not going to be a great plan. They need runners off them, and if the idea is to put Vinicius in some quasi #10 role behind them, it would be a disaster. We have too many CMs and not enough wing players to do that. Since we need a top interim striker he fits the bill, but anything over 60 million for a 30 year old in his last year would be a robbery, and you just know Levy will want a lot more. With Kane being a Spurs icon I dont think he will hold the club to ransom to make the move. On the other hand Firmino is really washed up and wouldnt move the needle in that Mariano backup role. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of bringing Joao Felix here tbh.
Felix has always ghosted when he has played as No.9. Thankfully, Atlético won't consider selling to us either. Kane just scored his 29th league goal. He's one of the best scorers of this generation. Link up skills shouldn't take away from that fact. RVN and Raul linked up so well. Kane probably has 4 years at top left while RVN only had 2. Felix doesn't have scoring skills, only effective when he plays as SS like Griezmann and that too not at a consistent level.
None of those bench Rodrygo. Reports out of England are that Spurs want over 100M GBP for Kane. He has one year left in his contract. One desperate club from EPL will pay close to that. No thanks.
RM and Bayern won't overpay. CL qualification is worth 80 - 100 ME in TV money and ticket revenue. I feel Levy doesn't want to strengthen Man Utd directly which would affect their CL qualification chances. Guardian, Manchester Evening News also suggesting the same that Levy would rather sell abroad or keep Kane and achieve Top 5 qualification which is enough for CL football from 2024-25 onwards.
He may not want to sell to EPL but he won't drop his asking price by 30 to 40M which is the difference between the max we'd want to pay vs. what EPL clubs will pay. Kane may just not want to risk it and renew to be highest player in PL.
Honestly, it comes down to whether Florentino wants Kane or not. If he is excited about Kane, overpaying 20 ME won't be an issue like with Hazard and Bale. If he's not, we won't even seriously bother negotiating like with Pogba.
Most likely the latter as his eye is on landing one of Mbappe or Haaland in 2024, regardless of how unrealistic either is.
I don't see why he would drop that price. I would be very comfortable waiting a year with Benzema so Kane can walk here for free next summer. We aren't desperate for a big name like with Hazard so we don't need to meet Levy's demands. Levy is prideful, so hopefully his pride would rather he take a loss on the transfer than see his prized possession scoring on him at home the next four or five seasons.
Mbappe has an actual out (he would be a free transfer) however that Halaand stuff is bewildering to me. He ain't leaving that place after two seasons..
Which means he won't leave at all. In what world do Qatar sit at any table with us to negotiate anything in good faith? France doesn't have buyouts or purchase clauses so it isn't like Mbappe can re-sign for a specific negotiated amount. We have seen his mother in action; she would never betray her paymasters.
I have no idea if any of this stuff is true re Kane and Haaland and all that but, a 16 year old unproven player asked the most successful and biggest club in the world not to sign one of the best proven young strikers in the world if possible and the club acceded to that request? I gotta say I doubt that.
There is an argument that a true 9 like Kane is a much better fit than a guy who wants to play on the LW anyways.
Really? In what reality? Where does Rodrygo play? He ain't replacing Benz if that's what you are alluding to.
