The train will pass a fourth or even a fifth time. After a summer of 2023 during which many thought that Kylian Mbappé would finally leave the French capital to join Real Madrid, the main concerned had made the decision to stay with the Parc des Princes, wishing to complete his contract with the Ile-de-France stable.
A controversial decision which pushed the Parisian management to remove him from the team, before changing their mind. It must be said that given how it started, the staff will probably see Mbappé slip away from under their noses without any financial compensation. Worse, Paris Saint-Germain still has to pay him numerous loyalty bonuses, all to see him potentially sign his contract with Real Madrid – or another club – in January.
The Madrilenians are patient
In today’s edition, the daily Marca explains that on the Madrid side, we are waiting for the Bondynois. The newspaper indicates that in 78 days, or two and a half months, Real Madrid will be able to negotiate with the 24-year-old French striker. Still, in the event that the latter does not extend his contract in Paris, which seems to be the trend. The machine is launched and the Madrilenians are starting to prepare the ground. The latest statements from José Manuel Otero Lastres, member of the club’s board of directors, go in this direction.
“We hope that Mbappé will have the same reasoning as Bellingham. I have confidence in his arrival. He will achieve glory when he arrives at Real Madrid. Otherwise, he will wander… He will win a Champions League one day (in Madrid, Editor’s note). Now it seems that PSG is less powerful than before, because they no longer have such good players. Real Madrid guarantees security, seriousness, which gives results. I have confidence he’ll say yes once he’s a free agent. He was born to play for Real Madrid, that’s obvious”, he said. Vinicius Junior also made comments along these lines, and for the media, it is no coincidence… Madrilenians are finally starting to be able to seriously consider the possibility of seeing Mbappé defend the white colors in a few months…
