Real Madrid desperately need new stars, and these two players are the most important for the Whites to sign in 2021 and 2022.
Kylian Mbappé has been Real Madrid’s main transfer target for more than a year. Madridistas dream of the PSG superstar bringing his offensive talent to the renewed Santiago Bernabéu for the 2021-2022 season, and in Mbappé and Eden Hazard, Real could finally once again have a true superstar duo.
There is no doubt that Mbappé tops the wish list. But there is also no doubt that it will cost Real Madrid a lot of money. Mbappé could charge a fee of more than 150 million euros, even if his contract runs out after the 2021-2022 season. Marco Ruiz from AS He recently reported that Mbappé rejected PSG’s last three contract offers. It is clear that he wants to win trophies at Real and increase his star power with the most prestigious brand in football.
PSG could complicate things for Real Madrid. They are known for their hard-line negotiation tactics; nobody surpasses them. Not sure about that? Ask Barcelona, who were rejected in all their attempts to meet Neymar at a discounted price. PSG will not offer any discount to Los Blancos, and they can even ask for a young star like Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo Goes in exchange.
Real Madrid is willing to pay. They did not make any signings this summer to save for Mbappé, because he is absolutely the player they must go to with everything. Better yet, he is calmly playing the best football of his life to start the 2020-2021 season with PSG. Mbappé has seven goals in six Ligue 1 appearances, and is also showing well as a creator, with four assists and 1.7 key passes per game, according to WhoScored.com.
It has been great to see the 21-year-old develop as a playmaker, but Real Madrid will not spend some 150 million euros in this economy on the French superstar for his assists. They are here for the goals, because they are desperate for a scorer so that Karim Benzema does not have to carry the burden almost on his own.
What makes Mbappé even more attractive is his versatility. The consummate spiker is right-handed but capable of starting on the right. He has good left technique and the ability to shoot from difficult angles. And besides, with his way of playing, he can create chances from the right for both Benzema and Hazard. It’s easy to forget, but Hazard has scored 14 league goals in five separate seasons.
Mbappé is the clear main objective of Real Madrid, but who is the second most important player for them to sign in this youth “Revolution” to bring true stars of galactic quality to the Bernabéu?
Erling Haaland has a very strong case. Sevilla center-back Jules Kounde is on the cusp of being world class in his own right.

Eduardo Camavinga should be Real Madrid’s second transfer priority
But the answer should be a player who is not an attacker. Eduardo Camavinga should be the second highest priority after Kylian Mbappé.
Camavinga is also enjoying an excellent campaign in Ligue 1. The Rennes star has scored and assisted once in the League. He has completed more than 90 percent of his passes with 1.4 dribbles completed, 1.4 fouls received and 2.5 tackles.
Last season, Camavinga emerged as a Real Madrid target on the strength of his world-class defense, but many people noted his potential to be a world-class central midfielder. And this season, he’s shown more of that attacking ability, especially with his charging and passing ball. Camavinga calmly has a good shot, which would be more evident in a club like Real.
It’s amazing to think that Camavinga is only 18 years old. He was 16 when I took him to PSG, so you can only imagine the trajectory he’s on.
At Real Madrid, Camavinga could play as a midfielder from area to area in Casemiro’s position, becoming something of a successor to Case, albeit with more composure and skill on the ball. He won’t have the same defensive presence and he won’t play the same way, but with Martin Odegaard and Fede Valverde on the team, Real can find the right role for him.
Central midfielders like Camavinga are very rare. He’s good at many things and legitimately excellent in his technique and defensive quality. How many players under 21 can claim the same?

Real should have their eyes on Lyon’s Houssem Aouar, but seeing their need for someone with Camavinga’s comprehensive quality in midfield, it should be their second priority in 2021 alongside PSG’s Mbappé.
