They failed to look beyond his 30 years and have looked on enviously ever since at the way the Bayern Munich striker has adapted to his new club every bit as quickly as Jude Bellingham.<\/p>\n<p>And they also erred giving up on Haaland in 2022 because they were blinkered and could still only see Mbappe.<\/p>\n<p>It is now clear that Haaland fits them better than the Frenchman, who plays in the same position as Vinicius Junior and would be far more likely to disrupt a dressing room harmony built around no one feeling superior to anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Mbappe\u2019s arrival would disrupt the club\u2019s pay structure. Beyond demanding a \u20ac100million signing on fee, he earns \u20ac25m net in France and Madrid\u2019s pay ceiling is currently around \u20ac11m \u2014 it\u2019s where the likes of Toni Kroos and David Alaba are, in the final years of their deals, and where Bellingham and Vinicius will be deeper into their current contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Mbappe is not worth \u20ac14m more per season than Bellingham.<\/p>\n<p>He has also lost favour in the Spanish capital over the years by never declaring an eternal love for the club. They like to sign players who publicly show that they want to play for them, and privately show that same desire in the form of financial sacrifices \u2014 Bellingham would have earned more at City but chose Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>Mbappe has never done any of that beyond having a poster of Cristiano Ronaldo on his bedroom wall as a kid. Since then he has snubbed them to stay in Paris on several occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Pimenta told reporters at the Bernabeu on Wednesday that she was not there to speak to Real Madrid president Florentino Perez about Manchester City\u2019s centre forward.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/10\/23\/77671597-0-image-a-121_1699660522263.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re envious of how Bayern Munich have made a success of buying 30-year-old Harry Kane\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/10\/23\/77671521-0-image-a-119_1699660409076.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Madrid like to sign players who publicly show that they want to play for them, and privately show that same desire in the form of financial sacrifices &#8211; like Jude Bellingham\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/11\/00\/77672615-12736507-image-a-41_1699664090271.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Beyond having a Cristiano Ronaldo poster on his childhood bedroom wall, Mbappe has never showed any great love towards Madrid\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She may well have been there to work as an intermediary for Fernando Brito who represents 20-year-old Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo.<\/p>\n<p>He is third top scorer in Brazil with 13 goals and would fit Madrid\u2019s current modus operandi of signing youth \u2014 Palmeiras\u2019 Endrick Felipe, aged 17, has already been signed and will arrive next summer.<\/p>\n<p>What is clear from Madrid\u2019s Haaland shuffle this week is that Mbappe \u2014 who was below par against Milan in the Champions League, adding even more weight to the narrative \u2014 is no longer Madrid\u2019s be-all and end-all.<\/p>\n<p>If he wants to come in the summer he might have to \u2018do a Bellingham\u2019 and reject bigger offers from England.<\/p>\n<h2>Elder statesmen Jose and Sarri still up to old tricks\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Europe is overflowing with bright young coaches from Roberto De Zerbi at Brighton to Francesco Farioli at Nice and Michel at Girona.

Neither side is playing well and that in part explains the noise from the coaches.<\/p>\n<p>At least Lazio \u2014 who won both Rome derbies last year 1-0 \u2014 won their European game. Roma were \u2018horrible\u2019 in defeat at Slavia, according to Mourinho, who banned his players from talking to media afterwards.<\/p>\n<h2>Entertainers Betis having Isco disco\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Betis are becoming La Liga\u2019s great entertainers, with Isco playing so well it was a surprise he wasn\u2019t handed his first Spain call up for four years on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>And in wonder winger Nabil Fekir he has a new accomplice. The former France international has been out for eight months after a cruciate tear but he returned on Thursday as a late substitute in Betis\u2019 4-1 win over Aris Limassol.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He came on just as Betis were awarded a penalty. Isco handed him the ball so his first kick back in front of home fans would be a goal. His spot-kick was saved, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Sevilla have not yet won in the league nor in Europe under new coach Diego Alonso, with their performance against Arsenal on Wednesday described as the club\u2019s worst ever in the competition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/11\/00\/77671785-0-image-a-129_1699661094342.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Isco was handed his first Spain call-up in four years on Friday after a brilliant run of form<\/p>\n<p>They desperately need a break.
