Real Madrid Confidencial Mendes and Florentino, a Done Deal and Very Close to Real Madrid: 'For That Price...'
The president of Real Madrid and the Portuguese agent have agreed on a transfer that the Whites consider necessary
There is no transfer window that Jorge Mendes doesn't try to sneak into at Real Madrid. Although Valdebebas are reluctant to do business with him, they know that it is practically inevitable. The Portuguese agent has several very interesting players on his payroll.
In this case, Mendes wants to take advantage of the problems that Los Blancos have in the center of defense . That's why he has contacted the club to offer a reliable center-back. This is the young Benfica player, António Silva , who is once again being linked with Real Madrid.
They had already tried to get him signed in the past, but the Portuguese were asking for an excessive price. Just as they did with Enzo Fernández at the time, they now wanted to follow the same path. They were going to sit down to negotiate starting at 100 million.
That figure was too high for Real Madrid, but Jorge Mendes has stepped in. He has promised Florentino that he can get him from Benfica for around 35 or 40 million. “For that price we would sign him,” the president is reported to have replied, according to leaks from Valdebebas.
Real Madrid Doesn't Forget and Doesn't Trust Jorge Mendes
Despite the assurances that Jorge Mendes has given Florentino, the truth is that Real Madrid don't trust him. They know that the Portuguese agent is only motivated by his own interests and will be willing to betray them. They haven't forgotten what happened last summer and that caused the current problem.
The Merengues had everything well underway to secure the transfer of Leny Yoro , after the player's yes. However, Mendes saw that a more tempting offer came from Manchester United. He convinced the French center-back to break his word to the white team.
That left Real Madrid without the center-back they had chosen and were already negotiating to sign. Something that hurt Bernabéu a lot and that they haven't forgotten, which is why they don't trust the agent. They know that if a better offer for Silva comes, he would've no qualms about accepting it.
