- Javier Tebas gives his opinion on Kylian Mbappe saga
- La Liga chief rates Real Madrid’s chances ‘more than 50%’
- Player due to be out of contract with PSG this summer
Real Madrid have a “high” chance of signing Kylian Mbappe at the end of the season in the eyes of La Liga president Javier Tebas.
Mbappe is scheduled to become a free agent on July 1st, since his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the conclusion of the next season. He has already reached the point when he is entitled to sign a pre-contract agreement with reference to a summer transfer; nevertheless, he has not yet made a choice on where he plans to play in 2024/25 and thereafter.
Mbappe’s future has been the subject of speculation about Madrid for a number of years, despite the fact that every single top club in the world would undoubtedly take pleasure in having him on their roster.
Tebas said, “I think high,” in reference to the probability that Mbappe would transfer to the Bernabeu, as reported by Marca.
Because it is a matter of opinion. a player that is 26 years old…It does not seem that he will remain at PSG. Real Madrid, the president, and the amount of money he is ready to wager on will all impact the outcome. It is reasonable for Real Madrid to believe that the signing of Jude Bellingham has already resulted in the acquisition of a great player; Vinicius Junior is another example.
“If the player wants to go to Madrid…more than 50% [he will go].”
A recent statement made by Mbappe’s management in France rejected rumors that he has already decided to play for Madrid.
It is understood by 90min that Mbappe has given a pledge to the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, that he would be the first to know what the ultimate decision will be. Mbappe is eager to play for France at the Olympics on home soil in Paris in July and August as a designated overage player.
Despite the fact that Mbappe is on track to become a free agent, Paris Saint-Germain are not too concerned about the issue from a financial standpoint. According to a claim that was published earlier this month by 90min, there is already a legally binding agreement between the player and the club about an amount of up to 80 million euros that Mbappe would return in the event that he left Parc des Princes as a free agent, which would result in no transfer price being paid.
These figures are subject to change and are not solely the result of Mbappe giving up his loyalty bonus. In what is described by insiders as a convoluted legal arrangement, the ultimate price is calculated taking into account a number of other elements, including one that is dependent on how and when Mbappe plans to leave the club in the event that it takes place. Despite this, he had already forgone a portion of the loyalty payment that was due to him the previous year, which was sufficient to persuade Al-Khelaifi of his dedication to the club. Should Mbappe decide to extend his contract, he will get the money that was waived.
