Why didn't Real buy Mbappe? Could they really not afford him?

This is retarded. Obviously Monaco would rather not to sell to PSG. I don't even hold this against PSG. Hell ya. Go for it, but this was dumb on Real's part. Benzema is awful.

They definitely could have afforded him especially after generating funds this summer.

Because of the emergence of Asensio and the fact that they didn't want to make an 18 year old the second highest earner on the team. You don't mess up that dressing room like that.

Difficult question. I believe Zidane thought they would get him, but the Real office wanted him to stay in Monaco one more season. I know Mbappé's family thinks highly of Zizou, so it's disappointing they couldn't come to an agreement.
Mbappé really wasn't a necessity for Real, though. All of the young domestic talent is being hoarded in Madrid for pretty cheap. No reason to upset the Apple cart if what you're doing is already working. I mean, going into the season los Blancos were favorites to win the Chamipon's League. It's not like they missed out on the "missing piece" by not signing him.
Cristiano and Benzema have a really good rapport on the field, by the way. He doesn't score as many goals as people want him to, but Benz gets trashed too often and too harshly for his production level.

During the window, it looked like Mbappe would have been a luxury, now it looks like he may be a necessity. Hopefully the reports are true, and we can make a move for Timo Werner in January.

Hyperbole is to be expected on message boards these days, but come the frick on dude. Real have won the CL 3 out of the last 4 seasons with Benzema basically being the only striker they use.
