The Real Madrid club is no longer best placed to welcome Kylian Mbappé into its workforce.
Kylian Mbappé will be free at the end of the current season. Unless he extends with PSG between now and then, he will then be able to choose the destination of his choice. For a long time, Real Madrid as the most plausible option for the Bondynois. It is no longer the case.
Real is playing a dangerous game with Mbappé
The Merengue’s interest in the French international has cooled a little in recent times. It is even rumored that Castilian officials have abandoned the idea of signing him. And their priority would now be Erling Haaland, the goleador of Manchester City and who has also been in their crosshairs for a while.
The truth is a little more nuanced. Real maintains a fool’s game, just to avoid having to pay a colossal signing bonus. In the best case scenario, they will “only” offer 100 million euros for the PSG star.
By playing for time, Real risks getting ahead of itself on this issue. Because competition exists. And it is mainly embodied by Liverpool. The flagship Mersey club has even already approached the former Monegasque with an attractive financial offer. While they were very late in this race, the Reds would today have a serious chance of getting their hands on the French genius.
