Correct. We even have to remember how Real Madrid got a great player like Mbappe. Well Real Madrid did it with great patience. This club does not like to pursue deals that are considered too expensive or deals that are a bit pushy. This club is always good at looking for other options when they fail to get their top choice. And in the end this club will get what it wants at the right time, just like when it got Mbappe on a free transfer. And that is the extraordinary way Real Madrid has shown in hunting for players. And actually, many players are always interested in Real Madrid. So looking for other alternatives will always be easy for this club. And it's even possible that players who refuse to join Real Madrid will regret it in the end. 
The success of bringing in Mbappe on a free transfer is nothing new for Real Madrid, previously they have succeeded in bringing in several quality players who can still be relied on for free. It is very difficult to refuse Real Madrid offer to any player because there they can get something they have never achieved with another team. When Real Madrid starts to show interest in a certain player, it will be a big threat to the club that player is playing for because the potential for losing one of its star players is very big.
