Real Madrid also desperately needs a center-back and I think Real Madrid should buy a center-back first and then buy a striker. Conceding 3 goals against Levante is proof why Real Madrid really needs a superb center-back.
Looking at the last game I agree with you, they were wrong to sell Varane. This makes their defense weak. Alaba is a good player but his position is left back, I think the purchase of Alaba does not match what they have sold and that leaves a weakness at the moment. Maybe I'd be happier if Madrid bought a centre-back instead of Mbappe. There are many rumors and news that Madrid have made an offer to Mbappe, Maybe this is the answer to Madrid's inactivity in the transfer market last year and this time.
Nobody was going to sell the lizard. But the player himself wanted to leave and did not renew the contract. And Real Madrid had to sell it to make at least something. But they sold very cheaply. But I agree with you that instead of Mbappe for 200 million, it is better to buy two good players in defense, in the center and on the right flank. And it was better to leave Hakimi in Madrid than to sell him to Inter.
