After rejecting Icardi, Real Madrid's final decision to sign Mbappé in January

Real Madrid continues at a firm pace led by Jude Bellingham. The English midfielder is the great figure of the white team and continues to command the attack alongside Rodrygo in the absence of Vinicius due to injury. Merengue has had to take refuge in them to score due to the lack of a goal from their center forward, Joselu, so the fans of the White House are happy, but at the same time they are aware that the club must bring a '9' to cover the loss of Karim Benzema.

The former Espanyol player missed up to five clear scoring opportunities against Napoli and, when he finally converted a pass from Bellingham, he apologized to the Real Madrid stands for his mistakes. In this context, supporters are clamoring for an attacker thinking about the decisive moments, and one of the names that was heard was Mauro Icardi. However, the club in the capital of Spain denied negotiations with the Argentine and now Carlo Ancelotti referred to the chance of signing another striker in January.

After the Champions League triumph, Carletto was asked about the Icardi rumors, to which the Italian responded: “A new striker in January? No. The club planned the squad in the summer and that's it. Everything is good". In this way, not only did he close the door on Mauro, but also on Kylian Mbappé, who has been on Merengue's radar for several seasons. Thus, it is confirmed that Madrid's final decision is not to sign the French, at least for now.

When could Mbappé arrive at Real Madrid?

Kylian's link with PSG ends in June of next year, so only on that date would he finally land at the Santiago Bernabéu on a free basis. This, in turn, would close the door to Julián Álvarez taking into account that in mid-2024 Endrick will also join the ranks of Real Madrid.
