Kylian Mbappe has been in the headlines over the last few weeks, following his admission that he intends to leave Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent next summer, once his current contract expires.
Real Madrid are very interested in signing Mbappe, whom they missed out on last year, with the 24-year-old opting to pen a new contract at the French champions.
Florentino Perez is desperate to finally get his man, although he is prepared to wait until Mbappe’s contract enters its final six months in order to sign him on a free transfer.
However. PSG are not prepared to let the situation get that far. According to PSG Community, the club has passed down an ultimatum to Mbappe: either he extends his contract, or he will be sold this summer.
Mbappe has previously stated his intention to remain at PSG for the 2023-24 season, although this could be about to change. For Real Madrid, it could now mean that they bring forward plans to sign the French international.
However, a deal is expected to be far from cheap, with PSG determined to secure as much as possible for Mbappe. Real Madrid are not prepared to play over the odds, which could hamper their pursuit.
