One of the best footballers of today, Kylian Mbappe, has put an end to speculation about his future at Paris Saint-Germain by announcing to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi that he won’t remain with the Parisian club beyond the end of the current season.What comes next? By all accounts – it’s Real Madrid.According to a recent report by The Athletic, Mbappe was believed to be considering a move to Real Madrid once his contract with PSG expires. However, certain members of his inner circle have not been impressed with the offer made by the Spanish club, leading to a delay in the process. Mbappe has been aware of Real Madrid’s terms since early January. Since his PSG contract will expire on 30 June, negotiations have been happening during the final six months of his contract in France.The 24-year-old signed a new two-year contract in 2021 that included a 12-month extension clause for the 2024/25 season. However, only Mbappe could trigger that extension, not PSG, and the deadline for doing that passed on 31 July last year. Madrid president Florentino Perez has been in direct contact with Mbappe and has been the main driving force behind the La Liga side’s latest move for a player who turned them down two years ago, despite at one point them feeling sure the forward had agreed to move.##NAJAVA_MECA_7873855##Kylian signed for PSG from Monaco in 2017 for a record-breaking fee of around $200 million. He has played 290 matches for the club in all competitions, scoring an impressive 243 goals during his six-and-a-half-year tenure. This season alone, he has featured in 30 matches and scored 31 goals across all competitions.More to follow
