Skelly rejects Real Madrid s invitation and chooses to renew his contract with Arsenal

After the end of the 2017-18 season, Real Madrid let go of meritorious coach Zidane after completing three consecutive championships since the unprecedented Champions League reform in football, and sold No. 1 star Ronaldo to Juventus for 120 million euros.

At the 2018 summer transfer window, Real Madrid, which has always pursued a "superstar policy", rarely did not spend a lot of money to introduce superstars as usual, but instead signed Brazilian rookie Vinicius, who had just turned 18, for 45 million euros in advance. Although Florentino invited Brazilian legend Ronaldo to cheer him up, it did not attract too many people to support him.

Florentino announced that in the future, Real Madrid will no longer buy well-known superstars, but will cultivate their own stars.

In recent years, in addition to investing 113 million euros in Bellingham in the summer transfer window in 2023, Real Madrid has indeed not made high-priced signings, but it has not introduced superstars, but has used the "free signing" strategy.

Alaba, Rudiger, Mbappe, Arnold...

This practice is amazing, but it also makes the former team of the player suffer.

Paris Saint-Germain introduced Mbappe for a large sum of 180 million euros, and even though he was given the highest salary in his team history, he still did not retain him. In the end, Mbappe joined Real Madrid as a free agent without leaving any transfer fees. Paris Saint-Germain is still recovering more than 50 million euros in wages. After losing Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain, which was supported by Dembele, won the Champions League championship historically. As the saying goes, "It is a blessing to lose the game."

At Liverpool, the main right-back "Prince" Arnold did not transfer to Real Madrid until his contract expired. If the normal transfer procedures are followed, Liverpool can also receive at least 70 to 80 million euros in transfer fees. Liverpool will have to spend at least the same amount to introduce a right-back of Arnold.

Although Real Madrid's approach does not consider other people's feelings, they have always enjoyed it. According to French media footmercato, Liverpool's main central defender Conat's contract will expire next summer, but he does not plan to renew his contract with Liverpool, but plans to transfer to Real Madrid freely next summer.

Real Madrid's attraction and temptation are self-evident, but some people have rejected this opportunity.

As of June 26, Arsenal officially announced a contract renewal with rookie Skelly.

According to British media, earlier, Real Madrid invited Skelly, hoping that he would join Real Madrid like Arnold after the contract expired. However, the negotiations did not make progress, and Skelly decided to stay at Arsenal and renew his contract until 2030, becoming one of the world's highest-paid young players.

Obviously, Arsenal understands the importance of retaining talents through high salaries, while Liverpool seems relatively lacking in this regard.
