As Kylian Mbappé, the 24-year-old forward of Paris Saint-Germain, approaches the end of his contract in June next year, he stands at a crossroads, but the door to Real Madrid seems less open.
A few days ago, Real Madrid released a statement stating that there were no direct negotiations with Kylian Mbappé. Is the Spanish club disinterested? According to RMC Sport, that seems to be the case.
Real Madrid has allegedly dropped out of the Mbappé pursuit due to financial constraints. Despite being one of the world’s most prestigious clubs, Real Madrid appears to be facing budgetary limitations that have led to a reassessment of the possibility of acquiring Mbappé.
Real Madrid is also hesitant to jeopardize the financial balance of its dressing room by bringing in Mbappé and his massive salary compared to other stars on the team. The investments in the new stadium are also weighing on finances, as they will have to repay over a billion euros.
“If Mbappé wants to come, he should do the job,” said a source from Real to RMC Sport. More and more people within the club are now leaning towards the Erling Haaland option. “On the Madrid side, things are clear: it’s not Real that will reignite Mbappé; it’s up to the French forward to come back to Real if he wants it,” they assure.
