In spring 2019, Zinédine Zidane wanted to recruit Victor Osimhen, then under contract with Charleroi. But Real Madrid had put aside this file, to focus already on Kylian Mbappé.
The Kylian Mbappé file has been present on Florentino Perez's desk for several years now. The president of Real Madrid follows the situation of the French player, present at PSG since 2017. After trying to recruit him during the last summer transfer window, the club merengue should return to charge in the coming months and try to find an agreement with Kylian Mbappé, who sees his contract expire next June. But as the Italian press indicated on Monday, this will not be the first attempt by Florentino Perez in this dossier.
Mbappé rather than Osimhen
Area Napoli tells an incredible anecdote. In the spring of 2019, Zinédine Zidane , coach of Real Madrid at that time, had breathed the name of Victor Osimhen to its leaders. Performing at Charleroi , the Nigerian striker caught the eye of the French technician. But as the Italian portal tells it, the leaders of Real Madrid did not listen to Zidane and did not even dwell on this track. The reason? Florentino Perez preferred to focus his efforts on the operation Kylian Mbappé. Finally, the French international decided to continue his career at PSG . As for Osimhen , he took over the leadership of LOSC during the summer of 2019.
