If the Parisian number 7 maintains a good rating among Real Madrid supporters, they no longer make his possible arrival an absolute priority.
Since January 1, 2024, Kylian Mbappé has been free to sign with the club of his choice. The soap opera concerning a possible contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain or a departure for another club has therefore resumed with a vengeance. A situation which exasperates a good number of Parisian supporters, but also those of Real Madrid.
“Madridism, the club and the supporters, have been fooled several times”recalled Fred Hermel in the show “L’After Foot”, Tuesday evening on RMC. “There isn’t this madness that there was before. We could have expected with January 1st and the fact that he is a free agent and that he can already sign for Real that we would make tons of it. No, the Spanish press talks about it but doesn’t make a big deal about it. We always follow everything that happens around Mbappé a lot, that’s obvious. But there is less waiting because they have already been fooled and they don’t want to be disappointed again.”continues the Spanish football specialist.

However, the journalist also indicates that this trend could quickly be reversed. “If Mbappé calls Florentino Perez in two days saying he wants to come, they will of course be delighted,” he emphasizes. Last June, the captain of the France team decided not to activate the last optional year of his contract with PSG covering the 2024-2025 season. The only certainty at present is that the top scorer in the history of the Ile-de-France club will finish the current season with the Rouge et Bleu, with the objective of going as far as possible in the Champions League.
