Building A Team For The New Bernabeu - The Summer Transfer Thread

I have just been told that Florentino Pérez has told the players tonight in the changing room that Mbappé is NOT coming

Let's wait to hear what Mbappe has to say before we confirm anything

I think that all this is bullshit...he is coming to us..its just pressure from french media

 

Florentino, who currently is in Germany for the EuroLiga, somehow went to the dressing room in Madrid to tell the players this.

 

Why on earth would he come to the dressing room just to say that? I stopped listening to Balague ages ago, but if he's wrong with this, nail in the coffin. No different from some tacky tabloid.

 

It's brainless drivel. As if the players are waiting to hear this...

I mean Benzema and Mbappe are basically brothers but he doesn't know and needs Florentino to hop on a flight to come and tell him lol.

 

Is it confirmed that he was not at Bernabeu tonight? Because our Euro League match was yesterday and final is tomorrow. He doesn't have to stay in Germany for 3 days when it's an easy flight to Spain.

Edit: Euro League is in Belgrade.

 

Balague...really? Come on man.

 

The same Balague who said Neymar was for sure going to play in Spain during the 2019 summer saga lol

 

I don't trust him usually. But he was at the Bernabeu commentating RM vs Betis for La Liga TV.

"It's time to sleep and dream with"

This is just fcuking weird honestly.

 

Balague is a fraud. Like his best friend Pep over at City.

 

🚨🥇| Florentino Perez has NOT told anything to his players about Mbappe staying in Paris. @Santi_J_FM

And Santi denies it… the roller coaster continues

 

It's a roller coaster if you're allowing the media to fcuk with your emotions (not saying you are). I'm invested to see how ridiculous this thing can get lol

 

It's incomprehensible to me that somebody would just flat out lie like Balague just did. Like how do you not feel bad after doing that?

 

DAMN, it's one thing to report an ultimately false rumor about a team/player's future decision, but to report something like this....that is genuinely embarrassing, even for him:

Guilleme Balague is basically a culer reporter. He has routinely reported lies about Real Madrid, so I wouldn't believe sh*t he says. Watch how quickly he deletes that post and backpedals when Mbappe comes.

 

That link is from 2018.

 

You know what I remember during that 2020 la liga title run we went on? I remember watching his videos and seeing culers accuse him of being pro-Madrid because he thought the penalties we were given were correct. So at one point he had *some* honesty left in his body.

People are saying Florentino was in Madrid and this is video. Clearly edited lol

 

He's likely to have flown in for final game of the season and Marcelo's farewell at the Bernabeu.

 

At the end of day it's Balague man.

 

Could work re ADM, not so much James for me, he might be a bit too off the pace having gone off to play/relax in the middle east and seems fairly injury prone, although not popular here i like how ADM makes things happen out of nothing, and works hard, on the other side of that coin though, i'm always for going forward and not back so my preference would be for someone younger, i have no idea who though

 

No to James, ADM otoh would be just fine

 

ADM burnt too many bridges with his constant attack against Flo. Besides, he hasn't played much competitive football this season. 4 goals and 7 assists in almost 2000 mins for PSG and most of them in dead rubber games.

I'd consider Mahrez as a short term option if he's available for 30-35 ME. Don't get the hate as he was terrific against RM in both games. Regular starter in CL and rotation starter in PL for City. Had 20 goals and 8 assists. He was the one causing our defenders most problems when he had the ball with his take on skills.
