The two fell in love and started dating, but one of them was still in marriage. Eventually it didn’t last, as the married one went back to his wife. But now, he is having second thoughts and called his former love again. In short, that’s the relationship between Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid. After months of negotiating and with Real going over the top with their proposals, PSG forward decided to stay in Paris, as he got the huge amount of money, half executive power and was clearly pressed from the France president himself to stay. But after one year, due to the nature of his contract with the Parisians, but also due to the fact that PSG once again was eliminated from the Champions League, we are in the same situation as in May 2022. 🚨| Kylian Mbappé called Real Madrid last summer to explain why he changed his mind and renewed. He also expressed his regret of renewing, while wanting to know if they wanted to sign him again. @marca #rmalive pic.twitter.com/yzbdI5rLLQ— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) March 10, 2023 Spanish Marca, usually very well informed when it comes to Real Madrid is writing that the negotiations between the Royal club and the player have not resumed, but that the contact was established again, and this time it was Mbappe who made the first more. The French international’s entourage apparently called Real executives for the first time at the end of September 2022. After making sure it was not a joke, Madrid’s brass heard once again that Kylian was sorry for committing to PSG and got the question: Are you interested in signing Mbappe? According to the reports, they were not, but they didn’t flat refuse the player. The main reason is that they need a proper, quality player to succeed Karim Benzema in 2024, when his contract is up. Mbappe refuses to commit to PSG after the elimination from BayernBenzema is 35 years old, and unlike last season, he is more fragile now. The Frenchman has s worrying streak of injuries (he has seven), which could make Real change his mind and start thinking about a replacement as early as June 2023. On the other hand, if he starts playing better and Real wins the Champions League again, all talk will be moved to 2024, when Real has another option – Erling Haaland. It was revealed a couple months ago that the Norwegian striker has a clause in his Manchester City contract which allows him to leave the club for 200 million euros, which is the sum only Real and PSG could pay, and that clause is set for – 2024. Another tense transfer window awaits us because of MbappeSo, if Benzema manages to stay healthy this season and start scoring, Real will have two top strikers available for purchase in 2024. And if Mbappe really wants to move to Madrid, he will have to do two difficult things: explain to PSG that he doesn’t want to extend his contract to 2025, and to persuade president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to sell him this June. While the first thing is relatively easy, the second one will be much harder. Al-Khelaifi outmuscled everybody in order to extend Mbappe and this would be a big defeat for him. And he would sell the player to the club he thought he defeated just a year ago. Tough pill to swallow for PSG president. He already refused as much as 200 million euros from Real in August 2022, but now, for that money, Madrid could get Haaland without much fuss. So, Mbappe has to persuade PSG president to sell him and to put the price a bit low, or risk losing him for nothing in 2024. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?##NAJAVA_MECA_7088303##
