Mbappé to Real Madrid, a saga with a thousand episodes. Will Kylian’s probable arrival next summer cost Vinicius his place? That’s what the Spanish media are suggesting in this January.
Kylian Mbappé has only six months left on his contract with PSG. Uncertainty looms over the player’s final decision, with the two most plausible options seeming to be a free transfer to Real Madrid or an extension in Paris. Real Madrid seems ready to lay all cards on the table.
Mbappé to Real Madrid, still on the table
Real Madrid has failed several times in the recruitment of Kylian Mbappé. In his adolescence, during a visit to the Bernabeu with trials, Mbappé decided to stay in France and not move abroad so early. In 2017, at the time of his transfer to PSG, everything seemed ready for his arrival at Real Madrid.
But once again, Real Madrid failed. The same situation occurred in 2021 and 2022, with two unsuccessful attempts for the merengue club. According to sources close to the matter cited by The Athletic, Real Madrid had done everything possible during the two summer transfer windows in question.
For the summer of 2024, Kylian Mbappé could become a free agent if his situation remains unchanged. However, sources have informed The Athletic that Real Madrid would try again, just like in 2021 and 2022, to finally conclude the Mbappé deal. The club would be willing to deviate from Madrid’s usual salary structure, making significant financial efforts to successfully complete the Mbappé operation.
In the El Chiringuito show, journalist Juanfe Sanz Perez revealed a major new scoop, in the form of a significant hint towards Mbappé’s arrival in Madrid. According to him, the Mbappé camp has recently approached Madrid-based companies that work with some players from Real Madrid and Atlético.
Mbappé to Real Madrid, Vinicius out?
These companies offer services such as chefs or nutritionists to Madrid players. Naturally, this strongly resembles the initial steps taken by the Mbappé camp to prepare for his arrival in Spain in the coming months. Unless it is merely anticipation before making any definitive decisions…
This Tuesday, January 9, 2024, the Kylian Mbappé dossier at Real Madrid has once again taken a new turn. According to the Spanish press, the Frenchman’s free arrival next summer could lead to the departure of Vinicius Jr, who could be put up for sale in the upcoming summer transfer window. It’s again El Chiringuito that revealed this information: Kylian Mbappé’s signing would push the Brazilian winger towards the exit, for two main reasons.
According to the famous Spanish show, the arrival of the PSG player, whose contract ends in June, would cost the Spanish capital club dearly. Despite being a free agent, his salary and signing bonus would create a significant deficit in Real Madrid’s finances, potentially prompting the sale of Vinicius, whose market value is very high (€250.3 million according to the latest CIES report).
Vinicius could also be sacrificed due to the incompatibility of his playing profile with that of Mbappé. Indeed, both players operate in a similar area, especially on the left side, favored by both. El Chiringuito also adds that the prodigy Endrick is expected to have a significant role next season, further limiting Vini Jr’s playing time. It remains to be seen now whether the Brazilian will have to find a new club in the next summer transfer window.
