Kylian Mbappe will arrive to Madrid at the end of the transfer window. Kylian Mbappe is almost impossible to sign. These are the two main points of the articles in Spanish media. So, he is either staying or going, which is not something particular new. The point is: nobody actually knows what’s going on. But the good news is, the transfer window closes in 9 days, and until then, Mbappe saga will be over, one day or another. So, let’s examine the options which are possible during the remaining days of the transfer period.(5.10) LEVANTE (3.70) REAL MADRID (1.70)According to Spanish AS, Mbappe WILL sign for Real, but it will happen on August 31st, at the end of the transfer window. Apparently, Madrid doesn’t want to disrupt the player or the club, and will officially approach on August 29th, when the international break beings and PSG finishes its game with Reims. In the meantime, presidents Florentino Perez and Nasser Al-Khelaifi, will negotiate the price, which is believed to be somewhere between 16 and 22 billion Ksh. Real has that sum, since they haven’t spent a single penny on transfer fees so far (Alaba came on a free transfer), but also earned additional 10 billion due to player sales. If the deal is not reached, the Parisians are risking that Mbappe leaves for free. 🚨| Real Madrid will be able to sign Mbappe for free from January 1, 2022, provided that Mbappe continues to reject offers made to him by Paris Saint-Germain. @le_Parisien [🥇]— Madrid Xtra. (@MadridXtra) August 21, 2021 The other option is that the deal won’t happen this summer. Real Madrid see signing Mbappe this summer as almost impossible and they won’t consider trying it with Erling Haaland, because of the commission that his agent Mino Raiola would ask for. The club think that Mbappe will only come if the Emir of Qatar grows tired of him, according to ‘Tiempo de Juego’ on Cadena COPE reported on Saturday. But the usually reliable ‘Le Parisien’ gives another option – yes, he will stay in PSG this summer, but will sign a pre-contract with Real already in January, when his contract is under six months. Kroos’ tricky comment sparks talks of possible Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid Meanwhile, the experienced Carlo Ancelotti is not counting on the help of Mbappe, as he is preparing his team to win La Liga without any new players. “I don’t care what happens in relation to Mbappe in the next few days. Because my squad is very strong. Our viewpoint is the same, this squad can compete for everything. We have a lot of top players, and the squad is full of stars. Titles are won when those stars work for the team. The atmosphere is very good in the dressing room, and I think the players are motivated and focused on their job. They aren’t involved in the transfer market and only talk about preparing well for the games” Ancelotti told the press ahead of Levante game.
