Everybody talks about it. This Tuesday morning, Kylian Mbappé made the headlines of the main European sports media. In Italy, the Gazzetta dello Sport title on the salary of 700 million euros offered by Al Hilal to the Frenchman. For his part, the Corriere dello sport referred to the offer of 300 million euros accepted by Paris for its “Mister Billion“. Ditto in England or Spain, where the KM7 case is still talked about. The attacker is on the front page of brand.
Catalan media, Sport And Mundo Deportivo, have also given it an important place. In France, his face appears on the front page of The Team with the title “Make your bets”. The sports daily evokes the Mbappé file. A soap opera that experienced a new twist yesterday. In effect, Skysports revealed that the residents of the Parc des Princes accepted a proposal of 300 million euros from Al Hilal.
Complicated relations between clubs
But for the moment, it is hard to imagine the captain of the Blues flying to Saudi Arabia, although the figures revealed can make your head spin. In case of departure this summer, which is not the player’s plan officially, the idea is to join Real Madrid. It is the club that has made the 24-year-old footballer dream since his childhood. After several missed appointments, this time could be the right one since Paris wants to sell him.
But Madrid haven’t officially come forward yet. For several days, the Spanish press has explained that Florentino Pérez has been patient and playing for time, hoping to recover Bondy’s crack at a more affordable price at the end of the transfer window when the pressure will be stronger on PSG. Information confirmed by The Team which reveals that PSG and Real Madrid are already in contact.
Paris and Madrid in contact
But the two clubs, whose relations deteriorated during the extension of the player last year. Despite everything, contact was renewed through an intermediary responsible for testing the waters with the Ile-de-France, Merengues and KM7. This had already been the case two years ago, when Real Madrid made offers. Two agents, a Belgian and an Italian, had made the link between the various camps. This summer, it’s the same thing. The two clubs are therefore discussing behind the scenes and have taken a first step to calm things down.
This, even if the PSG remains convinced that the residents of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium already have an agreement with the player for June 2024. If Madrid want Mbappé this summer, they will have to get their hands on the wallet. But according to AS, it is not a problem since the Iberian club, which has 400 million euros aside, has the necessary funds. But Florentino Pérez does not want to put a crazy sum on Mbappé. The merengue boss will have to come to an agreement with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who is ready to do anything to get rid of his superstar.
