Real Madrid supporters were taken aback yesterday when it was reported that the club had opted not to pursue a transfer for Kylian Mbappe. The Frenchman has been linked with a transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu for years, and with his contract due to expire next summer, the news came as a surprise.
It will be interesting to see how accurate it turns out to be. Most supporters have been perplexed as to why the club would refuse to sign Mbappe if he becomes a free agent next summer.
Mbappe’s current contract with PSG expires next summer, and he does not seem to be close to a new deal at the time. However, it looks that Real Madrid may be reluctant to recruit Mbappe for a variety of reasons.
According to Cadena SER, the first is related to the compensation scale. The second argument has to do with the present transfer rules. Finally, Real Madrid was not pleased with the Frenchman’s choice to accept PSG’s offer and prolong his contract with the Ligue 1 club two seasons ago.
Three reasons why Real Madrid does not want to sign Mbappe
With all of the twists and turns in the Mbappe tale over the years, nothing should come as a surprise anymore. The only thing we can do is wait and see what happens.
These rumors have surfaced only days after Real Madrid issued an official statement explaining that they were not in discussions with Mbappe. As a result, the timing is obviously intriguing.
Real Madrid will need a center-forward in the future. And someone like Mbappe, if he becomes a free agent next summer, may be ideal for that job. In recent weeks, Liverpool has also been connected with him.
