Considering that the French superstar has reached the last six months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the drama surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid is gradually beginning to take center stage once again.
After reaching a pre-contract agreement with any club of his choosing, the 25-year-old player is now able to initiate discussions with any team of his choosing and join with them as a free agent over the summer.
To add insult to injury, Real Madrid is keen to capitalize on the situation and reach an agreement with their long-term objective as soon as it is feasible to do so.
Indeed, Real Madrid has specified a deadline for the middle of January.
According to reports that have been circulating for some time now in Spanish media sources, Real Madrid is ready for Mbappe to make a choice on his future, and they want it to be as soon as January 15th.
In the player’s country, the media had not provided a great deal of confirmation on the incident at that point. Nevertheless, L’Equipe (with attribution to Madrid Xtra) is asserting that Los Blancos have, in fact, established a deadline for Mbappe to make a decision about his future move by the middle of January.
The current leaders of La Liga will make an offer to the French superstar, who will then be required to make a snap choice about what he wants to do. The Merengues are keen to prevent a drawn-out soap opera and unneeded drama similar to what occurred in 2022.
The article goes on to suggest that under the present situation, Mbappe’s choice might be made soon, and there is a possibility that he has already made a decision about his future move prior to the opening leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
What has Mbappe said?
In contrast, Mbappe gave the impression of being quite calm and unconcerned when he was questioned about his future earlier this week. He responded by saying:
I am not yet in a position to make a choice. On the other hand, we have reached an arrangement with the president that ensures the protection of all various parties.
In 2022, I did not know what I would do until the month of May. It would be unnecessary for me to delay making a choice if I already know what I want to do. The idea is just incomprehensible.
It remains to be seen how things turn out, despite the fact that Real Madrid seems to be pressuring Mbappe to provide a response by the middle of January.
