A video posted Thursday February 1 on Real’s social networks fuels the rumors.
The winter transfer window, a period where clubs can sign free or under contract players, ended this Thursday, February 1 at midnight. If there were no big surprises during this winter transfer window, with all the big names in the football world remaining in their club, a video from Real Madrid, teasing the arrival of a new recruit, panics the Web.
In this video, we see a desk with a computer, on the pitch and under the floodlights of the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid’s stadium. We see two arms select a date, February 2, 2024, and start writing the term “New”. New player or new sponsor because the Spanish media are also talking about the signing of a big contract with HP.

Already at the heart of a soap opera two years ago, the Frenchman finally announced his contract extension with the capital club, provoking the anger of Real fans and even the management of the Spanish club. But since then, water has flowed under the bridges and Kylian Mbappé’s rating at Real is still high.
Questioned several times on the subject, Kylian Mbappé said that he would give his decision when it was made and that he had no interest in keeping us waiting as he was able to do last time. Sidelined at the start of the season with PSG, refusing to sign a contract extension, the Frenchman finally confirmed an agreement with the president of PSG a few months ago, in order to ensure the protection of the capital club.
In recent weeks, the media have been getting excited again, constantly mentioning an imminent agreement between Kylian Mbappé and Real. This Thursday, Marca once again dedicates its front page to the French, with the title “Say it now“. The Spanish media explains that the Frenchman will make a decision and should announce it very soon. In the meantime, Paris would be interested in Leao (AC Milan) and Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), in case Bondy’s crack would not stay at PSG next year…
