“My goal is to continue at the club, to stay at PSG. I’m ready to come back to the recovery. It’s my only option at the moment. I am very happy there”. This was Kylian Mbappé’s last speech, during a press conference during the last gathering of the France team on June 15. But since he announced his intention not to activate his extension clause until 2025, the situation has been bogged down.
Sidelined for the pre-season tour in Asia, Kylian Mbappé will still train on the sidelines of Luis Enrique’s group, with the other “lofters” of the workforce. For the moment, Paris Saint-Germain should not change their position and their presence against FC Lorient, when Ligue 1 resumes, is compromised. While negotiations seem to be at a standstill between Mbappé and his management, only Real Madrid could change things.
Real Madrid would be ready to invest 200 M€
But according to the latest indiscretions of The Team – while an offer in the second part of August was hoped for by Paris Saint-Germain – Real will not make any offer until the PSG striker has publicly declared his intention to leave this summer. Indeed, Real Madrid would prefer to play it safe and indirectly put pressure on Kylian Mbappé, while Carlo Ancelotti’s team can get him free in a year. Without having to negotiate with PSG.
Real Madrid are therefore hoping for a gesture from Kylian Mbappé in order to be able to go on the attack. However, Rodrygo Goes had already appeared with the captain of the Blues and a conversation of Vinicius Jr. evoking the 24-year-old player had also leaked. Florentino Perez, the Madrid president, in the event of a green light, would be ready to put 180 million euros on the table and it could be that the negotiations could raise the price up to 200 million euros. The ball is now in the Mbappé court.
