"I never envy you."
Is it really true that rival clubs are recruiting the world's best players.
FC Barcelona President Juan Laporta said he does not envy Real Madrid, which is set to recruit Kylian Mbappe this summer. "I am not jealous of Real Madrid, which is signing Mbappe," he said in an interview with Spanish media "Mundo de Portivo" on the 22nd. "He will go there and distort the locker room."
Laporta's "distortion" seems to refer to a situation in which other players have to leave as much as it costs a lot of money to recruit Mbappe.
"When Mbappe comes, they'll have a problem," he said. "Shouldn't they sell players? They won't be able to play in the same place. And as for the numbers that will be there, it will definitely distort the locker room."
It is expected that there will be a significant aftermath after recruiting Mbappe, who is currently considered one of the best strikers in the world along with Erling Holan (Manchester City). "Mbappe's coming to Real will not be a gift," he said.
It's a remark that can be seen as the envy and stomachache of the president of a rival team, but it could actually be something that could happen in Real Madrid this summer.
Mbappe will qualify as a FA this summer, so Real don't have to pay PSG a transfer fee. However, given the salary and reputation Mbappe is receiving, he needs a lot of funding.
According to some local media, Mbappe and his family are asking Real for 50 million euros in net salary alone. It is double the 25 million euros that Toni Kroos, the current No. 1 player in his team, receives.
On top of that, Mbappe is even asking for a transfer bonus worth 175 million euros (about 252 billion won). 토토사이트 순위
Such Mbappe's demand can be a significant burden to Real, which is full of star players. It is compelling to pay attention to the ever-strict financial fair play (FFP) regulations. In the end, Real could lose some of its current stars if Mbappe is hired. This means that they have to sell some of the high-priced players to lower their financial burden.
In addition to Mbappe, Real is planning to set up a "Galactico III" by bringing in more young big names such as Alfonso Davis (Bayern Munich). As it needs a lot of money, it seems inevitable that one of Real's existing stars will have to leave.
