Real Madrid are desperately in need of a striker to replace Karim Benzema. Kylian Mbappe, who has been their main target this summer is yet to decide his future and it is still unclear whether he will be available this summer. The club is now looking for alternatives before the window closes.
the reason Real Madrid and Mbappe have not mutually agreed to sign a contract is because there is uncertainty on the part of PSG at the moment on the one hand there is a very hot conflict at PSG with Mbappe so maybe Real Madrid have no other choice but to wait until Mbappe contract run out and there is no need for too much ambitious to find a replacement for Banzema.
although Banzema is a reliable player, Real Madrid can be successful without a substitute
I think in this case Madrid are not without options, it's just that they prefer to wait for how the current conditions run, they realise that if they are active then PSG will not reduce Mbappe's current price and it is better to be passive while monitoring how it moves because if Mbappe and PSG continue to argue then in this case sooner or later he also leaves.
It's about how the strategy is done I think because if they are too active at the moment then there are some possibilities that will still hurt them like when they fail then it will definitely be a joke just like before and of course PSG will also not reduce the price of Mbappe to leave.
