While Kylian Mbappé has announced that he will stay at Paris Saint-Germain next season, rumors still send him to Real Madrid this summer. Qatar, aware that the French striker will not extend his contract, would have finally agreed to transfer him before the end of his lease in 2024.
Kylian Mbappé has however made things clear. During the UNFP Trophies ceremony last month, the Paris Saint-Germain striker assured that he would not move this summer. And this despite his contractual situation. Remember that the French, under contract until 2024, refused to activate the option for an additional year. This decision could allow him to leave free next year.
An exit voucher for Mbappé?
But recent rumors from Spain send him to Real Madrid from the upcoming summer transfer window! According to journalist François Gallardo, who works in particular for the program El Chiringuito, Kylian Mbappé has planned to speak during this month of June, and to communicate his departure from Paris Saint-Germain. The former AS Monaco player is about to join the White House and participate in the Merengue’s American tour.
El @psg_inside y el Emir ya le han dado el OK a @kmbappe ya q ha rechazado RENOVAR definitively. Le piden tiempo, como vengo contando desde hace semanas, para abordar llegadas, pero ya el OK va camino del Bernabéu.
In short, el @real Madrid recibirá lo commentado, y su precio… pic.twitter.com/HFBa5Qrgcv

A difficult scenario to envisage when one knows the intransigence of the Parisian leaders. The explanation may come from the KoyotitoSPA Twitter account, which claims that the Ile-de-France club and the Emir of Qatar, aware that Kylian Mbappé will not extend, granted him an exit voucher. The Paris Saint-Germain decision-makers would have simply asked him to wait until the sports management attracted the recruits necessary to compensate for his departure.

As for the amount of the operation, Real Madrid would have agreed to pay 230 million euros (bonus included) for his last year of contract. The captain of the France team would thus become the successor of Karim Benzema at the vice-champion of Spain. Of course, the information is to be taken with great caution, Spanish journalists having often confused their desire and reality in the Kylian Mbappé file.
