The uncertainty over Kylian Mbappe’s future at Paris Saint-Germain appears to be coming to an end, with the club putting him up for sale due to his refusal to sign a new contract. As the player’s current contract expires next summer, Real Madrid had initially hoped to get the player as a free agent, but the latest developments suggest a possible transfer before the end of the summer transfer window.
According to Marca journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon, sources close to Mbappe are already exploring properties in Madrid, indicating a possible move to the Spanish capital. All the indications are that Real Madrid will make their move in the coming weeks, although the final value of the transfer still needs to be determined during negotiations with PSG, who are anxious to avoid losing their star player for free.
As the most talked about story in recent weeks, Kylian Mbappe’s future has dominated the headlines since PSG made the decision to put him up for sale. The French champions are determined not to let him leave without receiving a significant transfer fee, considering that his contract expires next summer.
Real Madrid, who were considered the main candidates to sign Mbappe, were hoping to secure his services as a free agent. However, recent events suggest that they will speed up their search and make a transfer this summer. The transfer saga has left fans nervous, with the two clubs now preparing for intense negotiations.
According to Le Parisien, Real Madrid are expected to start their bid for Mbappe around August 15. This deadline gives PSG enough space to consider and potentially accept the offer, which could be favorable to Real Madrid.
If the deal goes through, Real Madrid may have to wait a little longer to have Mbappe in their squad at the start of the season. Without him in the first match against Athletic Club, the Spanish giants hope to include him in their squad for the game against Almeria on August 19.
