Real Madrid or PSG, Fred Hermel on Mbappe: “I know from a reliable source that…”

Kylian Mbappe has been rumoured to be heading to Real Madrid for several seasons now. Having reached the end of his contract with PSG, the France captain has yet to make an official decision, having refused to extend his contract with the French capital club last summer. While we wait for the Bondynois’ situation to become clearer, Fred Hermel, a specialist in Spanish football at RMC Sport, has made a revelation to Madrid media outlet AS.

Kylian Mbappe is going through a rather complicated period. The French striker has struggled to carry PSG since the start of the season and his relationship with PSG coach Luis Enrique is deteriorating by the day. The world witnessed Kylian Mbappe’s anger at the end of the match against Borussia Dortmund, when he wanted to attack so that PSG could finish top of their group. But in the meantime, Luis Enrique, who knew that his team had already qualified, asked Marquinhos, the club’s captain, to manage the score until the final whistle. And that did not please the 2018 world champion.

In the French press, his future has resurfaced, after he refused to extend his contract last summer when PSG wanted to lift the option on his contract. Mbappe sent a letter to the club notifying them that he had no intention of extending his contract. Paris were annoyed and even kept their star on the sidelines during pre-season before reinstating him after the official start of the league season. Naturally, during this period, his name was constantly being bandied about at Real Madrid. Even Florentino Perez let himself go in a viral video with a fan, promising that Mbappé would arrive at Madrid in the summer of 2024.

Fred Hermel reveals the truth about Kylian Mbappe…

Several media outlets have revealed the latest developments regarding the future of Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe. The Bondynois’ contract with Paris expires in the summer of 2024, and numerous sources are linking him with a move to Real Madrid next season.

Fred Hermel, a well-known journalist with Radio Monte Carlo and RMC Sport, told Spanish newspaper AS that Kylian Mbappe is doubtful about his future. In his opinion, the child from Bondy still doesn’t know whether he should extend his stay at PSG or take the risk of joining Real Madrid next summer.

“I know from a reliable source that Mbappe doesn’t know what he wants to do. We still don’t know whether he will extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) or whether he will contact Florentino Perez to announce his desire to wear the white shirt of Real Madrid. Doubt is a good thing in life, but if we abuse it, it turns into the opposite,” said Fred Hermel.

Fred Hermel : Mbappé does not want to sign for Real Madrid

The famous French journalist specialising in Spanish football has some rather unexpected information about Kylian Mbappe. He has stated that the Bondynois does not want to sign for Real Madrid, otherwise he would not hesitate so much.

“Mbappe’s hesitation reflects that, deep down, he doesn’t really want to sign with Real Madrid. Otherwise, he would have already done so on one of the many occasions when he has received offers. If he really wanted Real, he wouldn’t have thought about staying in the Paris adventure, and he wouldn’t have been motivated by crazy things like becoming the French League’s all-time top scorer,” added Fred Hermel.

“It seems that he prefers French comfort to Spanish risk. That’s respectable, but this constant doubt is starting to turn into a crime,” he concluded.
