Striker Kylian Mbappe’s future will be resolved in the next six months with the France international expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain to join Real Madrid in July.
Kylian Mbappe is expected to refuse both Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Liverpool to complete his move to “galactic” dream team Real Madrid . Kylian Mbappe, 25 years old, will end his contract with PSG in June.
Coach Erik ten Hag revealed his simple message to his players in the Manchester United dressing room after the 2-0 victory over Wigan in the third round of the FA Cup.
PSG is still trying to convince Kylian Mbappe to sign a new contract in the “90th minute” like they did in May 2022, while teams like Liverpool will give the French striker the opportunity to play in the tournament. The harshest Premier League planet .

However, Real Madrid is in a favorable position to lure the 2018 World Cup champion to the Spanish capital. Information from French media said that Mbappe has agreed to join the 14-time Champions League champions on a free transfer at the end of this season, with Mbappe having to sacrifice not receiving a loyalty bonus worth 69 million pound at PSG.
But according to the Daily Mail (UK), Real Madrid has not yet acquired Kylian Mbappe as rumored by French media yesterday, January 8, that French superstar Mbappe had reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid.
Accordingly, Mbappe’s salary is a difficult issue, as he currently earns 25 million euros per year (£21.5 million) at PSG. Real Madrid’s current highest-paid players Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham are currently earning around €10m a year (£8.6m).

Real Madrid cannot give a player a contract with a salary more than double that of the club’s highest salary recipient. That will cause chaos in the Bernabeu team’s dressing room.
Because there is no transfer fee to buy Mbappe, Real Madrid can install a bonus clause for Mbappe worth 100 million euros (86 million pounds) into the contract. A bonus clause if Mbappe wins the World Golden Ball is also included. .
Regardless, an official announcement on Kylian Mbappe’s future could take some time. But signing the French international will be a big step forward for Real Madrid, because Mbappe turned them down in May 2022 to spend another two years at the Parc des Princes team. Saying that is to show that there is still a possibility of Mbappe joining Liverpool.

However, speaking right after Mbappe signed a contract extension with PSG in 2022, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez still affirmed that joining his club is Mbappe’s “dream”. Perez seems to believe that one day Mbappe will come to the Spanish Royal team.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez told El Chiringuito newspaper: “Kylian Mbappe did not betray me. Mbappe has told us many times that his dream is to play for Real Madrid. But then everything changed after 15 days because of political and economic pressure.”
Perez believes that French president Emmanuel Macron influenced Mbappe’s decision to stay at PSG. Perez also believes that PSG owner Qatar has made a contract extension offer that Mbappe cannot refuse.

Perez added: “Kylian Mbappe’s dream must change. French President Emmanuel Macron called Kylian Mbappe. PSG asked him to head the club’s new project, it changed everything. I don’t see Kylian Mbappe Just like we wanted. Here, there’s no one bigger than Real Madrid. It won’t change.
It was not easy for Kylian Mbappe to receive a call from the French president, advising him not to leave the club. Then when it comes to Qatar, they make offers that make you crazy, perhaps unimaginable things. This is why Kylian Mbappe has changed.
I think Kylian Mbappe’s mother wanted her son to join Real Madrid, she knew it was always Mbappe’s dream. I’m sure she wanted Mbappe to join us, but things have changed and we have to respect that. I still completely respect Kylian Mbappe.”
However, Kylian Mbappe previously denied rumors that French president Macron was involved in his career. Kylian Mbappe said last June: “What influence does the President have on my career today, in 2023, none. He wants me to stay in Paris, my goal is to stay. We I am on the same “wavelength”.

Recently, when mentioning his future, Kylian Mbappe appeared more cautious when saying: “I haven’t made a decision, I haven’t made a choice. But with the agreement I reached with the PSG president last summer (last year), regardless of my decision, we will try to protect all parties and keep the peace of the club. In the face of upcoming challenges, that is still the most important thing. If I knew what I was going to do, it wouldn’t take long.”
