Certainly part of it. But he also provides no balance to the attack, and is clearly the inferior player to Vini and Mbappe. I personally am not over the moon to target the 4th best attacker on a team that we played off the pitch only a couple seasons back. He's being passed by Arda, Diaz, and Mastantuono and they're trying to cash in before his value tanks.Madrid politics as much as anything mate. When you fall out with them or they want you out, you are forced out with a mixture of media bile and not being picked.
Just more depth I guess so doesn't hurt of course.
