Hi ed2. On Liv site i ask you about Mbappe and you said that RM has other target for 2024. Can you tell who is it?

{Ed002's Note - They will attempt to sign Haaland from Manchester City in 2024.}

Nice one. Will they have the financial capabilities to complete both Mbappe this year and Haaland next year? I would assume both would command massive wages. Having both in one team is huge financial commitment. Plus the La Liga wage cap etc.

{Ed002's Note - They expect to be able to with four of their top five earners leaving.}

Do you have the latest brief summary on what Real planning to do this summer Ed? Or is it still the same as what you wrote down below?

Do you have the latest brief summary on what Real planning to do this summer Ed? Or is it still the same as what you wrote down below?

{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid will look to avoid any significant January transfers but will look to Azpilicueta.
Cesar Azpilicueta (RB/CB) Real Madrid will make a January offer.
Joao Cancelo (LB) Wanted by Real Madrid.
Florentino (DM) Seen by Real Madrid as a Casemiro replacement. Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool have spoken with his agent. Benfica have said they do not intend to sell, but a significant offer may tempt them.
Yeremy Pino (RW/LW/AM) His agent spoke with Manchester City and Chelsea last summer about the player but Pino agreed a new contract at Villareal with a significant €80M buy-out clause and a contract to 2027. Chelsea have kept him on a list of potential wide players at the behest of an ex-player who was offered the job of DoF. Barcelona opted for Raphina. Was orginally the first choice replacement for Pepe at Arsenal but is no longer, although they retain an interest. Real Madrid have him on their lengthy list of potential replacesments for Eden Hazard. Prior interest of Liverpool as a Salah replacement will have gone.
Alexis Vega (LW/F) Mexican international from Deportivo Guadalajara who has been watched by a number of European sides from Spain and England, including Real Madrid and Liverpool. Chelsea have spoken with his club but Wolves have tried to negotiate a deal and found that the likely preferred option will be Tigres.
Mykhaylo Mudryk (LW) Tentative agreement was reached with the player and Shakhtar Donetsk for a summer move to Bayer Leverkusen - he would have been a Diaby replacement - but it never happened. Arsenal asked his agent after his availability at the start of the transfer window but not his club, and no formal offer was made, although his club are aware of the interest. Player has said he would like to join Arsenal. Newcastle have him on a list of options going forward but it will go nowhere. Chelsea and Bayern Munich have scouted him this season with both sides looking for long term wide solutions still. Alternate to Leao for Chelsea. Real Madrid are considering him as an Eden Hazard replacement. Manchester City had a declared interest, probably as a Silva replacement, but that has gone.Wildcard interest of Brentford and a low offer from Everton will obviously go nowhere. I am not aware of any approach by Liverpool. Asking price will likely rise to €80M or more.
Kylian Mbappe (S) Wants to move to Real Madrid but for them the financial outlay could be too much. PSG will not sell unless they can recoup something like €200M-€250M which will remove just about all clubs from any deal. Those who could potentially afford it are held back in Spain by the salary he would request and in England by the cost of the total outlay, although the Liverpool supporters remain absolutely convinced he will be joining them. Option for Real Madrid still if they can make space in the wage costs at the club but could not fund the transfer fee without significant sales. Similar is true for Barcelona who are continuing to regroup and will also continue to pick up players as Free Agents. Manchester City could potentially offer a wildcard option. Chelsea and Manchester United would likely both see the outlay as too high with wake demands of more than £750k per week before bonuses.
Erling Haaland (S) Team Raiola are open to negotiating with Manchester City to remove a termination clause from his contract - but there is a reluctance as Real Madrid are intending on meet the clause in 2024.
Matheus Nascimento (S) Botofogo youngster that Chelsea and Real Madrid have a sustained interest in. Will end up in Madrid I would think.
Endrick (AM/F) Kiddie who has attracted scouts from Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG, Benfica and Barcelona, and probably others. Expect offers from Real Madrid and PSG to be made after he has signed a Pro contract. Manchester City would have a significant advantage over any other English sides as they could move him to a club within the City Group whereas others would have to wait until he is 18 although it is the interest of Chelsea that is to the fore. PSG had a low informal offer rejected but do remain interested. I would expect a move to Real Madrid at some point, but for now he will stay where he is and Chelsea may be able to make an attractive proposal to the player.

Interesting to see that there is no Bellingham in there Ed2. Are Madrid content with their midfield players right now? They have good young core midfield in Camavinga, Tchouameni and Valverde. They might be settle for years there.

{Ed002's Note - They would like to take Bellingham but do not value him at anything near what the asking price will be.}
