3. Mbappe’s one remaining year with PSG and a possible renewal
Similar to Gareth Bale’s contract situation, even Kylian Mbappe has one remaining year on his contract with the Ligue 1 outfit, PSG. There are two things to consider here. First, given that his contract is set to expire next summer, Real Madrid could choose to pursue the Frenchman then.
It makes more sense when the two previous arguments are juxtaposed. Firstly, the finances are on the lower end. Second, the returning loanees can ensure enough attacking ammunition for one season to go. It, therefore, makes sense for Real Madrid to wait an extra year and get Mbappe for a free transfer.
Now coming to the second thing to consider, there have been reports of a possible renewal of Mbappe’s contract with PSG. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi renounced the rumors of selling Mbappe or even letting him move for free in the summer of 2022, as MARCA reports. This clearly indicates that PSG has its heart set at a renewal.
If the renewal happens, that would be the final nail in the coffin for Real Madrid’s dream transfer. Mbappe is reported to have a final call on his future after the ongoing European Championships when he will meet his club’s president. We can only hope for it to be good news.
The final note to end on would thus be that jumping on to conclusions at this moment wouldn’t be the wisest thing to do. The signs have indicated both ways, while most of them are positive, the club’s financial state cannot be discounted. Madridistas should stay prepared for both possibilities. And, irrespective of what happens, Real Madrid will find a way through under Don Carlo.
