Real Madrid Transfers: The latest update on Kylian Mbappe’s decision
Real Madrid want to go all-in on a world-class goal-scorer this coming summer, because there are finally two options worthy of their full attention and investment. Erling Haaland has scored 10 goals in the current Champions League campaign for Borussia Dortmund. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe remains Real’s ultimate dream target.
Either player would be a huge addition for Los Blancos, but it’s no secret that Real prefer Mbappe. He has been on their radar for a long time, and they could get the most out of him. They need a wide forward who can put the ball in the back of the net 30 times per season. Mbappe would be the missing piece.
Although there has been optimism that Real Madrid will sign Mbappe, reports have been conflicting. And now there is further conflict and further reason for Madridistas not to get their hopes up for Mbappe too soon.
According to Get French Football News on Twitter, tomorrow’s L’Equipe will have a story out stating that Kylian Mbappe is leaning more towards signing an extension with PSG than leaving for a new club this summer. And since Real Madrid are really the only option for Mbappe at this point, it appears he may be choosing Paris over the Spanish capital.
Kylian Mbappe choosing PSG over Real Madrid would not be a shock
It wouldn’t be totally surprising if he did this, even if we’ve heard so much about how Mbappe has rejected at least three renewal offers from PSG. Paris is Mbappe’s home city, and he’s enjoyed great success there in the past couple of seasons. He also gets to play with Neymar, who will be extending and is the world’s best playmaker in the attacking third.
Real Madrid have benefits they can offer Mbappe, too. But the question is, what does the 22-year-old forward prioritize? Does he want to be the leader of Real’s next great project, or does he want to win trophies in Paris and play with one of the best players of this generation in Neymar?

These are questions only Mbappe can answer, knowing full well he can leave to Real later in his career but cannot rewrite history if he leaves PSG now. It is a tough decision, but the latest update is that PSG may now be favored. Keep this update in mind, but remember that so much can change between now and June. Mbappe does not need to decide just yet.
