Real Madrid is reportedly planning to sign three top players, Jude Bellingham, Alphonso Davies, and Kylian Mbappe, in a stunning summer transfer spree. Real Madrid appears to have an advantage over Manchester City in their pursuit of Bellingham, as Liverpool has concluded that they cannot meet Borussia Dortmund’s €150m valuation for the 19-year-old midfielder. However, signing Davies and Mbappe would require Real Madrid to outmaneuver Bayern Munich and PSG. According to Sky Sports, Real Madrid has been interested in Davies for a while, and the club has previously pursued Mbappe, with an almost €200m offer last year.
However, Bayern Munich could demand a significant amount for Davies, who is one of the best left-backs in the world, and is currently valued at €65.6m by the Expected Transfer Value (xTV) model. Meanwhile, Mbappe may not be available for transfer until next year when his contract with PSG expires. If he chooses not to extend his stay at PSG beyond the end of next season, Real Madrid could sign him as a free agent in January 2024.
Out of the three players, Bellingham is the most likely to join Real Madrid this summer. Mbappe’s contract situation makes it uncertain whether he will be available for transfer, and Davies is an essential player for Bayern Munich. However, Real Madrid’s appeal as a 14-time European champion cannot be underestimated, and the club’s willingness to pursue these top players demonstrates their ambition to remain among Europe’s elite.
