While the future of PSG’s striker, Kylian Mbappé, is a major concern, a significant revelation has surfaced. According to the French media L’Équipe, the decision of the French star could come earlier than expected.
The winter transfer window continues its course. As competitions gradually resume after the year-end festivities, club transactions persist. At PSG, there is no shortage of excitement regarding the transfer market. In addition to the arrival of a new defender who has already won a trophy (the Champions Trophy last Wednesday), other arrivals pending, and the contractual situation of the star Kylian Mbappé, Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s club is making headlines as always.
In all the operations currently taking place, the one concerning the captain of the French national team attracts much more attention and fuels much discussion. Indeed, considered one of the three best players in the world currently, the Bondy native is highly sought after. With his qualities, having such a player in one’s team is undoubtedly a privilege. And precisely, PSG, benefiting from Mbappé’s talent, is doing everything to retain its star, who is approaching the end of his contract (June 2024).
Real Madrid wants his answer by mid-January
Already, at only 25 years old, the top scorer in PSG’s history is free to join the team of his choice as of this January. Among the potential clubs he could land in, the Real Madrid of Florentino Perez is in the top position. Captivated by the talent of the Bondy native since 2022, the Madrid club is doing everything to secure Mbappé. In recent days, the Spanish press announces a final attempt by the French capital club at the beginning of 2024 with a deadline set for the Paris Saint-Germain player.
The information has been confirmed by the French newspaper L’Équipe. In an exclusive report, the media explains that Real Madrid refuses to fall into the trap of the 2022 summer transfer window and therefore demands a definitive response from Kylian Mbappé by mid-January. On the other hand, it is learned that PSG, also tired of this infernal saga, wants to know what Mbappé intends to do and does not plan to retain him in case of a preferred departure.
Will Mbappé’s final decision be known before the return of the Champions League?
While the two clubs that are “almost” fighting over the child of Fayza Lamari and Wilfried Mbappé want to be quickly settled to move on as quickly as possible, L’Équipe also states that the forward does not wish to drag things out either. Thus, his decision could come earlier than expected. And according to the information still available, Kylian Mbappé’s final choice could come before the resumption of the Champions League, as the player himself wishes.
L’Équipe’s information comes after the exit of the player in question last Wednesday after PSG’s victory in the Champions Trophy played at Parc des Princes. Scorer and outstanding in this match, Mbappé appeared before the press, presumably to discuss his current situation. He announced that he had not made a final decision so far and that his decision would not harm the club led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, as an agreement revealed by RMC Sport had been made to protect all parties.
“I have not yet made my decision (about my future), I have not made a choice. With the agreement I made with the president this summer, regardless of my decision, we have managed to protect all parties, to preserve the serenity of the club for the challenges ahead, that’s the most important. Let’s say it’s secondary,” Mbappé first stated. “In 2022, I did not know until May. If I know what I want to do, why linger? It would make no sense. The most important thing is really the titles; we have a determined and young group that wants to win trophies,” he continued.
In any case, we all await Mbappé’s choice. The saga surrounding his future has caused a lot of ink to be spilled, and it is important to put an end to it once and for all. In your opinion, what could be the final decision or destination for Mbappé? Should Real Madrid fear a new twist? Your opinion interests us.
