I also think Mbappe won't be able to move to Madrid this season because it would be huge money for the club. Real Madrid won't pay that when next season they can buy Mbappe at a reasonable price. I think nothing serious will happen if Mbappe doesn't play for Real this season, although they will miss such a striker.
Real madrid already spent more than €100 million for bellingham. Shall madrid spend another huge money again for mbappe? Madrid is still having a lot of options to buy another player rather than mbappe. It sounds non sense to think that if mbappe is only good choice to replace benzema.
There are so many great strikers in the market that have same capability to perform even better compared with mbappe. Think again. Mbappe is not only striker that available in the market right now.
I will prefer to get another striker instead of wasting a lot of money to buy mbappe. No guarantee if mbappe's performance won't make madrid fans feel disappointed with him. It's caused by mbappe was playing in the farmer league.
The competition is kinda different with la liga which is more competitive compared with league 1. I see no reason to call him as suitable striker for real madrid right now.
Maybe Mbappe is not the best striker in the world. but I can see that Mbappe is still the fastest striker at the moment. Even i don't think anyone can rival Mbappe in terms of speed. Maybe Man City's Haaland can get close to Mbappe's level. but still Mbappe is still my favourite. Real Madrid does have many other options that can be taken. but the players who are suitable to replace the position left by Benzema for now there may only be a few players including Mbappe and Harry Kane. And because Mbappe is a young player, it's no wonder that Mbappe is more of a priority.
