Real Madrid and Chelsea Set to Make Major Summer Transfers

The Athletic claims that Real Madrid has a financial plan in place to sign Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe was rumored to be headed to Real Madrid as a free agent last summer before deciding to stay. Even though he made a two-year commitment to PSG, there is a possibility he will leave during this transfer window. And Real Madrid will be ready with 200 million euros when the chance presents itself.

According to the French newspaper L’Equipe, the 24-year-old must agree to a new contract with the Ligue 1 champions or they would consider selling him. Karim Benzema’s signing with Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League means that Madrid will be without a striker for the 2022–23 campaign.

Additionally, there are speculations that head coach Carlo Ancelotti is seriously concerned about the situation.

In its pursuit of a striker during the summer transfer window, Chelsea has made progress on Villarreal striker Jackson, as reported by the Athletic.

This is due to a personal contract arrangement between Villarreal’s Nicolas Jackson and the Blues, according to The Athletic. The 21-year-old scored nine goals in his final eight La Liga games in the 2022–23 season.

Todd Boehly and the Chelsea administration shouldn’t have any issues paying the transfer fee due to his €35 million release clause. Whether or not they attempt to negotiate a better agreement for the striker—most likely expecting to pay in installments—the stipulation is a wise one.
