They transferred Mbappe at a young and productive age. After getting maximum performance for 5 years, they can sell it to Saudi Arabia with a high transfer fee. Moreover, they transferred him for free. It is pointless to talk about these things for Mbappe because he has just arrived, but we can still say that this is the case. Real Madrid is a very well managed team in terms of player transfers. They use their reputation very well
of course seeing mbappe with a European team instead of seeing him in some Arab team is really nice, he could have chosen but he made the right choice in my opinion he was very influenced by the path of Cristiano Ronaldo who was number one in this so he did well to make the choice to go to the galacticos team that will certainly compete in the big competitions and perhaps win them
When Ronaldo was at the same stage that Mbappe is now, if an offer form a Saudi club side have came at that time, I am sure he will turn it down because he was still at his prime and much was required from him and was a big choice for all European teams. When he went back to play for Manchester United again, he would have gone to the Saudi league and saved his prestige instead of what he did at Manchester United before he angrily left and joined Al Nassr.
This does now mean that Mbappe won’t still follow in the footpath of Ronaldo when the time reaches. He has a lot to offer now and he’ll be more valued and make a prestigious name in Europe before going to the Saudi League if he wishes to before he retires from football. Mbappe loves Ronaldo, so I feel he’ll do what Ronaldo did when he was in Real Madrid in other to get that success he’s yearning for so long.
