Real Madrid’s board of directors believes that top target Kylian Mbappe currently holds all the cards to decide his future and they have no intention of playing any more cards with this PSG striker.
News about the Mbappe deal is still as quiet as paper. Spanish media, still reeling from Real Madrid’s victory over Barca in the Spanish Super Cup match (4-1), did not mention Mbappe at all. This is not a strange thing for Real Madrid.
Real has maintained the same communication strategy since the fall and sent the message that they do not need to try at all costs to get the 2018 world champions. The ultimatum they leaked coincided with the point where Mbappe was asked if he wanted to join Real next summer.
Yesterday, some sources within Real rejected the idea. They explained: “We have full freedom to negotiate and come to an agreement with this player at the end of the season. What’s the hurry?” However, Real’s top officials did not seem too interested in convincing Mbappe, who was very aware that this club was very hungry for him.
Real will still make it clear to the 25-year-old player and his staff that they want to know the answer and do not want to get involved in the travel manipulation tricks that Mbappe has performed several times to create an advantage. for myself.
They do not want to return to the spring of 2022 – when Mbappe rejected an offer to sign a new contract with PSG at the end of the season. Real needs clear answers to plan for next season. This is also to avoid the same disappointment as PSG.
Currently, Real estimates that Mbappe is getting closer to leaving and a decision could come during the Champions League round of 16 (mid-February to mid-March). However, as is customary at Real Madrid, the announcement of who to buy or sell may not be officially announced before the end of the season.
Unless they suffer a huge defeat – such as an early exit in the Champions League, while Real will face RB Leipzig – which will prompt Real to use the transfer news to lighten the mood and change direction. public opinion attention.
For his part, Mbappe has demonstrated that he has no intention of letting the timing of his decisions dictate and always weighs the weight of each media appearance.
Real said that this was his last chance to join and now Mbappe has all the factors to make a choice. They hope that it will be determined above all by Mbappe’s ambition, as Jude Bellingham did last summer (arrived from Dortmund for around 100 million euros).
Confident but cautious, Real Madrid’s Board of Directors is patiently waiting for the final choice of the French international, who is still the top priority target in the summer of 2024 for Florentino Perez, even if some people have missed out. The rumor is that Mbappe is no longer someone who cannot help but buy like in the spring of 2022, when Real was willing to spend big and meet all the star’s demands.
If Mbappe nods, the whole club will rub their hands and happily welcome and get a great talent. If not, Real is guaranteed to have option 2. With the progress and excellent form of Vinicius and Rodrygo, Bellingham’s ability to adapt quickly and performances that far exceed expectations, Real is still very strong.
