Shocking news: Osimhen is being considered by Real Madrid as the Mbappe trade encounters a snag, causing unrest at the Bernabeu.” As their quest for Kylian Mbappe comes to an impasse, Real Madrid is reportedly mulling a move for Victor Osimhen, according to an exclusive report from Fabrizio Romano. This is happening in the midst of rumors of internal conflict at the Bernabeu as the club’s management cannot agree on a transfer plan. Osimhen has surfaced as a possible Mbappe substitute.

Kylian Mbappe’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, making him a potential free agent if he doesn’t commit to a new deal with PSG. While long-associated with a move to Real Madrid, especially since the 2017 competition with PSG for his signature, his dream of donning the club’s white strip might face obstacles.

Despite Mbappe’s admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo and his affinity for Real Madrid, certain influential figures within the club’s hierarchy are resistant to signing him. According to a well-connected source, the more seasoned and judicious individuals at Madrid view Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as a more favorable option for the club.

The belief is that Osimhen’s playing style aligns more closely with Karim Benzema, who departed for the Saudi Pro League last summer after winning the Ballon d’Or in his final season at Real Madrid. Moreover, Osimhen is seen as a better fit for the team’s footballing style and the overall profile of the club compared to Mbappe.

This perspective is influenced by the fact that Mbappe previously flirted with the idea of a free transfer to Real Madrid 18 months ago before ultimately extending his contract with PSG. The senior figures at the Bernabeu argue that the substantial financial investment required for Mbappe, including a significant salary and substantial signing bonuses, could be better utilized in securing a deal for Osimhen.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Osimhen is anticipated to be a central figure in the market. However, Chelsea is reportedly contemplating a pre-emptive move in January, considering the ongoing challenges faced by the team. Nevertheless, Osimhen remains firmly on Real Madrid’s radar, providing an alternative path amid the deliberations surrounding Mbappe’s potential arrival.
