It doesn’t happen often, but Real Madrid communicated around Kylian Mbappé this Saturday. And notably opened a new season of this endless series. This week, the Spanish media got excited and announced the arrival of Kylian Mbappé next summer, with an unprecedented salary offered to the Frenchman and a contract offering him 100% of his image rights. Information which forced the Merengue club to come out of silence, explaining “that this information is categorically false and that no such negotiation took place with a player belonging to PSG”.
Real denial or simple bluff to calm down negotiations between PSG and Real Madrid? According to information from Parisian, this press release would in reality be a legal strategy since it would allow Madrid to avoid any prosecution by PSG. If the negotiations were confirmed while Kylian Mbappé is still under contract, PSG could take legal action against the current second in La Liga. For now, the captain of the Blues will be free to negotiate wherever he wants from next January, he who is coming to the end of his lease in the summer of 2024 with PSG.
