Real Madrid have set January 15 as the deadline for Kylian Mbappe to answer whether he accepts their offer.The ultimatum expires today, and it seems that there is nothing from the agreement between the two parties and that the Frenchman was never further from moving to Santiago Bernabeu.After winning the Spanish Super Cup last night and the great victory over Barcelona, Florentino Perez did not even want to comment on the situation with Mbappe.”Kylian Mbappe? This is not the time to comment on those things. Let’s enjoy the players who wear the Real jersey,” said the club’s supremo.At the same time, in France, PSG played a match against Lens, after which French journalists asked the young Bradley Barcola what was happening with his teammate. The young Frenchman angrily replied:”I don’t know and that’s not my problem.”Obviously, the constant media attention regarding Mbappe is slowly starting to bother the team as well.##NAJAVA_MECA_7796150##Let us remind you that Real Madrid have been chasing the Frenchman for years and are trying to bring him as capital reinforcement. However, Mbappe has ‘played’ the Royal Club on several occasions, the last time being the summer before last, and it seems that Madrid are no longer as hot for him as they were before. Especially since some current first-team players provide performances beyond all expectations. It is also true that Real Madrid do not have a classic centre-forward apart from Joselu, but the Brazilian wonder Endrick will soon be with the first team and it is possible that they will rely on him as they did in the cases of Vinicius and Rodrygo.Mbappe has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until the end of the season, but also has the option to extend it for another year. From January 1, he is free to negotiate with whoever he wants without the permission of the French club, not to use the clause on the additional year of the contract and to leave as a free agent in the summer.However, PSG have a verbal promise from the player that they will not do that. Such is the “gentleman’s agreement” that was concluded this summer between the club and the player. When Mbappe refused to activate the aforementioned additional year in his contract this summer, PSG kicked him out of the first team. After several days of tension, an agreement was reached. The striker was returned to the first team, and the world media revealed the details of the “gentleman’s agreement”.Vini Jr: I’m no saint but everyone wants to fight me to get some media exposureMbappe then gave up the €80,000,000 loyalty bonus he was due for this season. PSG will pay him that money only if he activates an additional year from the contract, which will mean that the Saints can recover the said amount later from compensation if the player decides to leave. And they will gain time to convince him to sign a new contract…“Obviously I want Kylian to stay. He is the best footballer in the world and the best thing for him is to play in Paris. He is at the center of our project. He is a great player and a great man. The two of us have an agreement, the details of which I will not disclose. I don’t want to talk about money because it has nothing to do with our agreement, which is worth more than a letter on paper,” Nasser Al Khelaifi said recently.At Santiago Bernabeu, they already believed Mbappe once and they were wrong. They don’t want the same situation now. They gave him until January 15 to answer whether or not he will come next summer as a free agent. If he wants, then they can negotiate the financial details. If he doesn’t want to, then the door is probably and definitely closed to him. The French media are reporting that this type of ultimatum did not appeal to the French attacker because he does not want anyone to pressure him and rush him. He will most likely wait for the end of the season and the outcome in the Champions League to make a final decision. The possibility of a move to Liverpool that could bring him in as a replacement for Mohamed Salah should the Egyptian leave for Saudi Arabia not be ruled out either. There aren’t many options…Real Madrid adding Kylian Mbappe to this attack… pic.twitter.com/jUYCTrJ8fi— Al Nassr Zone (@TheNassrZone) January 15, 2024
