The Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid transfer
saga is back in the headlines, as the Frenchman closes in on the expiry of his
contract with PSG with
each passing day.
The 25-year-old’s current deal
runs out on June 30 and there have been contradicting rumours emerging about
his future. Some suggest he has agreed to join the Merengues while
others indicate that he might still renew his contract with PSG, like he did in 2022.
Mbappe’s entourage came out
earlier this month and stated that the forward will not be pressured into a
decision and will take a call on his future on his own terms.
Mbappe has agreement with Real
Madrid
However, now, reports from
France, as relayed by SPORT, are claiming that Real Madrid and
Mbappe already have an agreement in principle for him to join the Merengues at
the end of the season.
According to the aforementioned
information, Los Merengue’s and the Frenchman’s negotiators
have laid the foundations for his signing to be completed after years of rumors
and talks.
Despite that, it is claimed that
Mbappe intends to listen to PSG’s arguments in a final negotiation before
finally closing the deal. But, it would be too late for the 2018 FIFA World Cup
winner to reconsider his position and accept the latest offer.
Mbappe to be offered the No.
10 jersey
Furthermore, the report states
that Mbappe has been offered the No. 10 jersey by Real Madrid, which is
currently worn by Luka Modric.
The 38-year-old is also in the
final year of his contract and is expected to move on from the Santiago Bernabeu at the
end of the season.
There had been growing optimism at PSG that they had created the
situation for Mbappe to accept their latest renewal offer. But now everything
indicates that continuity is nowhere near.
