I doubt it, Real are skint and no way they'd sell him for 100m only. Hazard went for that and he's not as good and older.
They'll just sell a plot of land to the government for a few hundred million and buy it back for a million a few years later. They make City and PSG look squeaky clean but nothing is ever done about it.Real have been skint for years, banks wont do anything about it as they are the national team.
PSG are trying to call Madrid’s bluff by saying he is staying and can leave on a free in a year if Madrid do not this summer pay what they spent on him, which is about £160m.
Perez will not do this and the original plan b was to then sign Haaland for £150m this summer and take Mbappe in 12 months for free.
Madrid’s plan A would see a combined outlay of £166m (KM 2021 £100m & EH 2022 £66m) for the pair and plan B would be £150m (EH 2021 £150m & KM 2022 £0m).
Perez wants plan A as he is desperate for Mbappe asap as amongst other things he promised him to the voters. But plan A or plan B is fine because the two players in reality are worth a combined £400m.
The issue Perez has is that if plan A is blocked by PSG what does Perez do, as already there is no plan B anymore because BVB have said the £150m price was only available if they missed out on CL. Now they have made CL they will not sell Haaland for any price this summer.
This is where it gets interesting as I sense Perez finding a new plan A+ which as I said previously would involve signing Kane for £150m this summer and then adding Mbappe for free next summer and also Haaland for £66m next summer.
This intriguing possibility would result in the most demonic strike force in history valued at around £600m arriving at Madrid for a combined £216m which would be truly incredible business.

All sounds a bit theoretical and can't see that playing out. They're skint and could barely afford their stadium refurb.
I think Mbappe might sign a new contract, he's from the Paris area and loves it there - Neymar has also renewed his contract as well.
According to who?Mbappe and Haaland already have agreements with Madrid.
One way or another by the very early days of the summer window 2022 they will both be at real madrid.

@AjaxDeSuperYids is fast becoming my favourite poster. Nearly all that he writes is wrong but he is bloody good fun, reminds me of a young @Gutter Boy
Wonder if these guys did turn up at Madrid what would happen to those two Brazilian lads there.
I think in Europe clubs promote much more form within the leagueCould it be there is more of a focus on coaching/tactical reputation abroad wjen viewing the job a manager is doing compared to the UK which is more results/track record based?
I just posted this in the Potter thread but thought I’d copy it here for discussion
potters next step could be a club that he wouldn’t want to leave to join us
People need to have a look at some managers careers to understand the trajectories the better ones have been on...
Poch was sacked with his team bottom on in Spain
Conte had a mare at several clubs before being given a chance at juventus bu getting Sienna promoted. He hadn’t won a thing before hand and had managed a team that got relegated
Klopp took over Mainz and struggled to get the them promoted. It took him 3 years I believe and even then they limped over the line. Then he took them down again
That’s 3 of the world big 6 managers (I’d add pep, simeone and possibly Jose to that)
Great managers need opportunities
Great managers need chances
In this country it’s so rare to see a big club do that. We did it with Poch and he didn’t have a great record despite what some will say. He took an average Southampton side and made them a bit better. He came here and inherited some am amazing players. He created some unity and got them brought into a system, and that actually took time too
We can try to appoint a name off the shelf but there’s a reason why there not employed currently. Or we can go for a manager who is held in very high regard by the guy just voted as the best manager in the land
Alternatively he could go to arsenal for example and turn them into a better side. That’s very possible abs quite scary TBH as their not as far away as people think with the second best form in the land since Christmas
That’s why we have to be decisive and brave. Potter is a brave call
