If we talk about a proper transfer saga sometime in the future, then the Mbappe-Real Madrid case will be a textbook example! All that we had the opportunity to read or see during the last couple of years about possible (un)successful deals in the transfer market cannot even come close to what Los Blancos and Kylian Mbappe are doing.So many twists and turns, agreements and denials have surfaced that probably even the actors of this saga cannot understand. The latest chapter is actually a continuation of the story about the ultimatum that Real allegedly gave to Mbappe, to declare by January 15 whether he will come to Bernabeu. That date passed and, miraculously, nothing happened, but L’Equipe, as one of the most influential and well-informed media in France, continues to report that the Madridians are still waiting for the French striker, and that their leading men continue to negotiate aggressively.Real Madrid are ready to wait a little longer for Mbappe, but are now asking him for written guarantees that he will come, in order not to repeat the episode from 2022. Then he first gave his word to Florentino Perez, but then he broke his promise and remained in Paris Saint-Germain after a lot of pressure from the Qatari owners and the intervention of the first man of the state, Emmanuel Macron.##NAJAVA_MECA_7805368##While Real Madrid are looking for guarantees, L’Equipe reports that Mbappe can’t decide whether to come to Madrid because no offer is actually on the table!? No financial conditions, nothing. And this story now enters a vicious circle. At Santiago Bernabeu, they are convinced that one of the best footballers in the world is now never closer to leaving Paris, while the first man of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is calm and does not hide that Mbappe and he have some kind of agreement, and therefore does not pressure him to decide. In his speeches to the public, Al Khelaifi was quite calm when it came to Mbappe, he asked the media and others (read: Real Madrid) not to pressure the footballer but to let him make his own decisions. Time will tell whether this is a sign of confidence that the World Cup will stay with France or if it is just one of the mechanisms of “wooing” the player.💣 💥❗🇫🇷 #PSG 🔴🔵 ❗PSG remain hopeful that they will be able to tie Kylian Mbappe to fresh terms and stave off Real Madrid. pic.twitter.com/RTWVjy3XWr— Ekrem KONUR (@Ekremkonur) January 16, 2024 Be that as it may, L’Equipe states that Mbappe will not wait until the end of the season to decide, but that it will most likely happen between February and March, at the time of the Champions League round of 16 games. On the other hand, Radio Monte Carlo columnist Daniel Riolo claims that Mbappe will eventually face “PSG’s astronomical offer to extend the cooperation and Real Madrid’s classic approach”.”On the one hand, you have an offer that will give Mbappe ancient Rome, ancient Greece, the Egyptian pyramids… Something that has never been seen before in the world of football and will bring him over 100,000,000 euros a year. No club will be able to offer him that. It’s an offer that will benefit Mbappe’s brother, their family, everyone… Even the management agency their mother is trying to set up,” says Riolo and continues:”On the other side, there is something I would call normal, normal in terms of Real Madrid. It is a classic salary for the star of the team. We are talking about a sum of approximately 30,000,000 euros per year, maybe a little more. And even then he will not be considered the king of the club. So Real Madrid would bring him down to earth again. Mbappe is now somewhere between heaven and earth. PSG are also a sporting project and his stay would bring further progress for the club. PSG have yet to win what Real have already won. What PSG would gave Mbappe is something incredible”.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Torn between two worlds, what will Kylian Mbappe choose? He has already given up 80,000,000 euros of loyalty bonus money that he can get if he uses the clause in the contract and automatically extends the contract for another year. Real Madrid are waiting for him with open arms, but PSG have their own mechanisms to keep him…
