According to “The Times”, Kylian Mbappé would not be willing to respect the ultimatum posed by Real Madrid who are awaiting a response before mid-January concerning the choice of the PSG player on his future.
Gros-Jean as before in 2017 then in 2022, Real Madrid has this time made things clear. Still in the race to recruit Kylian Mbappé, the Spanish club told him that it would not wait until mid-January to hear from the main interested party the choice he would make for the rest of his career. Free to discuss with the clubs of his choice since January 1, the Paris Saint-Germain striker will be at the end of his contract next June, but he is clearly in no hurry to choose. At least not as quickly as Real would like.
This is in essence what has just been revealed The Times this Sunday. The English media thus explained that Kylian Mbappé was not willing to sign any pre-contract with Real Madrid before the end of the famous ultimatum. The Bondynois would like to take the time necessary for his reflection. But that’s not all since The Times added that Kylian Mbappé was in reality not necessarily tempted by experience in La Liga as a priority. No, he would consider trying out the Premier League. Or ? The mystery remains unsolved at this stage.
Only master of his time
Liverpool is regularly cited among the two or three clubs likely to recruit the French world champion. The coach of Reds, Jürgen Klopp, may have assured the media that it was financially impossible for Liverpool to welcome Mbappé, the possibility remains plausible for many observers. There is still a week left for the French nugget to return to Real Madrid and indicate his choice. If he doesn’t do it, what will Merengue president Florentino Perez decide? If Kylian Mbappé responded positively after a few weeks – or months – of additional reflection, would he close the doors of Real in his face? Nothing is less sure.
According to The Times, Kylian Mbappé wants to be the one and only to put his choice and his timing. He doesn’t want Real Madrid or any other team to impose a timetable on him or tell him what to do. Still, he will have to make a decision.
