Real Madrid clarify stance on potential move for Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé

Real Madrid are perplexed at how the Kylian Mbappé transfer saga is unfolding and specifically the avalanche of information coming out every single day in relation to his possible departure from Paris Saint-Germain and potential move to Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. As far as Los Blancos are concerned, nothing has changed: they haven’t been involved any kind of negotiations with the French club and don’t intend to, as they fully believe Mbappé will see out the remainder of his contract in Paris, which expires on 30 June 2024. As the player himself has stated.

Real Madrid unwilling to splash the cash on Mbappé

Madrid are therefore struggling to understand the daily speculation that the France captain could make the move to Spain before then, while several details related to the possible move have also been played down, including the use of intermediaries in the negotiations, of which none are planned. Similarly, the club isn’t aware of PSG’s current valuation of the player, although Los Merengues wouldn’t be willing to pay either than €225 million ($248.3 million) or €250 million ($275.9 million) that have been quoted.

All things considered, the chances of Mbappé leaving the Ligue 1 champions for Madrid any time soon appear incredibly slim. With the LaLiga giants not prepared to break the bank to get the 24-year-old a year early, his possible arrival remains on hold.

Madrid’s 2024 plan to sign Mbappé

Is it estimated that Real Madrid would have to splash out a total of €400 million ($441.5 million) - transfer fee plus salary - to sign Mbappé now, whereas he will be available on a free transfer in the summer of 2024. As a result, the Spanish side feel as if they have PSG where they want them, especially with the player himself refusing to go back on his intention to leave when his contract expires next year.
