Real Madrid provoke fear: If they sign Mbappe they can dominate football for a decade
In England, Real Madrid's investment in some of the best young talents in the world such as Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Vinicius has provoked fear that Los Blancos could dominate world football for a decade if they finally sign Kylian Mbappe, who finishes his contract with PSG in the summer.
Pete Jenson writes in the Daily Mail that "If Real Madrid finally sign Kylian Mbappe this summer (and the Frenchman wants it to happen and PSG are resigned to it happening) then the Spanish club will have the best Under 25 team in world football - one that could dominate the game for a decade".
Real Madrid's strategy in the transfer market to try to make history
According to his analysis, this Real Madrid strategy, in which Juni Calafat's work in Brazil stands out, " will be the result of years of working the transfer market more effectively than any other club in world football".
Pete Jenson believes that Real Madrid's decision to let Karim Benzema leave and sign a 33-year-old striker like Joselu was an open invitation for Mbappe to finish the last year of his contract with PSG without signing his renewal.
Pet Jenson dares to draw the young team that Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid could field, another reason to fear Madrid's dominance, next season: Thibaut Courtois (31), Dani Carvajal (32), Antonio Rudiger (30), Eder Militao (26), Bellingham (20), Valverde (25), Tchouameni (24), Camavinga (21), Vinicius (23) Mbappe (25), Rodrygo (23), Guler (18), Endrick (17), Brahim Diaz (24), Toni Kroos (34).
"The only downside of having such a stellar squad is the unenviable task of keeping everyone happy and it's why Real Madrid have been just as shrewd in their choice of manager as they have with the way they have built the playing squad," he adds.
Alphonso Davies and Erling Haaland next?
The Daily Mail writer believes that next summer Real Madrid "will also sign Alphonso Davies, a 23-year-old left-back from Bayern Munich who has just one year left on his contract".
"Madrid will also not want to be out of the room if and when Erling Haaland decides he fancies another challenge," he adds.
