Real Madrid transfer news: Kylian Mbappe makes huge demands to join Real Madrid and Florentino Perez agrees and more - December 11, 2018

Hello and welcome to the Real Madrid latest transfer news and rumours of the day! With the January transfer window coming up, it is only natural for the talks of Madrid signing players to increase.

However, only time will reveal as to whether the Galacticos will do business in the winter. Nevertheless, here are the biggest stories surrounding the Blancos in the rumour mill today!

#3 Joachim Low interested in Madrid job

Germany boss Joachim Low has opened up about managing at club level once again. The German has been managing the national team since 2006 and might be enticed to going back to club level coaching again.

Like everything, his marriage with Germany has to end. While it has been a largely successful endeavour for him, Germany’s performances in the World Cup and following the conclusion of the tournament have indicated that perhaps it is best for Low to part ways.

According to the Germany manager himself, he is not thinking about hanging up his boots just yet and is also aware that his time as the coach of the national team has to end someday.

"I was a club manager for several years and I am still not thinking about retirement," Joachim Low was quoted as saying.

"It's also clear that the majority of my time as national team coach has already passed, so the moment will arrive when I have to think about what to do after.”

Low then added that should he manage a club ever again, it won’t be in Germany, before claiming that the prospect of becoming the manager of Real Madrid is always an interesting one for anyone.

"For me, I am still interested in coaching a club. I think it would be abroad, not in Germany.

"Real Madrid is an interesting club for any manager."

#2 More about Palacios

Real Madrid have been linked with Exequiel Palacios for a while now and River Plate president Rodolfo D’Onofrio hasn’t been shy to admit it.

D’Onofrio claimed that he has had talks with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez but confirmed that they weren’t about Palacios.

"Yesterday I was talking to Florentino Perez,” he said on Monday. “But we did not discuss anything about Palacios.”

He then added that neither Palacios nor Quintero were spoken about and then stated that while they can talk about the player now if Madrid want to acquire the services of the young Argentine, the Galacticos will have to wait for a while.

“At this moment there is nothing for him or Quintero.

“They talked about a player but we agreed to speak about it later. I guess those talks will happen now if they are interested.

“If they want him, the best Madrid and Palacios could do would be to wait a bit more.”

#1 Mata and Mbappe

Juan Mata’s contract with Manchester United is set to expire in the summer of 2019. The former Chelsea superstar is yet to agree on a new deal with the Red Devils and now, there are reports linking him to Real Madrid.

The former Real Madrid starlet is being touted to move back to the club by El Gol Digital. They report that Solari sees him as a bargain replacement to Isco, who has fallen below in the pecking order.

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe has been linked with Real Madrid for over a year now. Despite the fact that PSG have made it absolutely clear that they have no intention of selling him, Madrid are still pursuing the former Monaco starlet.

According to Don Balon, Mbappe has made some demands before agreeing to sign for the Merengues. He wants to be the highest paid player in the world while also being given the number 7 or 10 shirt.

And Perez is apparently willing.
