The game continues its course. A tremendous soap opera with three protagonists: Kylian MbappeParis Saint-Germain and the Real Madrid. The player still does not want to renew with the PSG —at least that is what the forward himself has communicated to his club, even in writing—, while the Parisian entity does not hesitate to issue him an ultimatum: either renew his contract for one more year, until June 30, 2025, or it will be put on the market this summer.
The two parties – with the president of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaifion the one hand, and the mother and representative of the player, Fayza Lamari, on the other— they have intensified contacts in recent days to try to find a solution to this authentic soap opera, whose outcome seems to be a little closer. Mbappé has a deadline until July 31 to decide whether or not to renew with the club that, to this day, still pays his token: if the answer is negative, Paris Saint-Germain will put him on the market this very summer, with the idea of that the player does not go free next year.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is waiting for events. He does not want a repeat of what happened to him in May 2022when he had the footballer’s yes to join the Santiago Bernabéu and, against all odds, he ended up renewing for PSG for two more seasons (June 2024), due to pressure so that he would finally stay with the French entity, from his family and even the French state, with the president himself, Emmanuel Macronleading the movement to ensure the continuity of Kylian.
This time in Valdebebas they have learned their lesson and the merengue entity prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Despite everything, they do not lose hope of being able to sign Mbappé this summer, despite the feo that the player already did to them a year ago.
According to club sources have pointed out digital freedom, at Real Madrid they have even established a roadmap, convinced that Kylian Mbappé remains firm in his refusal to renew with PSG and end up, sooner rather than later, in the white house. And that roadmap goes through wait until the end of july —On the 31st the period that PSG has given the striker to decide whether to finally renew or not expires— and take action from August 1.
It will be then, in full Madrid tour of the United States —the whites will finish it on August 2 with a match against Juventus Turin in Orlando, three days after facing Barcelona in Dallas—, when the white entity will intensify negotiations with PSG to try to reach an agreement for Mbappé . Once he has the yes of the footballer, who in principle would sign for six seasons (until June 30, 2029) and will receive 25 million net in his new club, it remains to be seen how much he will pay the French entity for the forward: talks about a transfer worth 200 million euros plus 50 million in variables.
Madrid’s idea is to close the agreement with PSG within a maximum period of 72 hours, tying up all the loose ends and forcing the striker to sign a series of clauses so that he doesn’t let them down again; then, Mbappé would become a Madrid player for all intents and purposes and in the club shuffle the week of August 7-13once the tour of the United States has finished and before the start of LaLiga —the first match of Carlo Ancelotti’s team is on Saturday the 12th against Athletic Club de Bilbao in San Mamés—, for the presentation, in style, at the Sports City of Valdebebas.
An act that would take place between Monday the 7th and Wednesday the 9th, so that Mbappé can later join the training sessions under Ancelotti and make his debut in the white shirt in Bilbao.
