At the same moment when speculations regarding Kylian Mbappe’s possible transfer to Real Madrid in the summer are beginning to gain momentum, there is a possibility that the story may take an unexpected turn.
It was announced on Thursday evening that Mbappe will be leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the conclusion of the current season, which is when his contract is set to expire.
After that, there has been a lot of speculation that the superstar, who is now 25 years old, would finally make his dream transfer to Real Madrid, two years after he turned down the opportunity to play for them.
In some reports, it has even been speculated that Florentino Perez, the president of Los Blancos, has already notified the locker room about the imminent arrival of the French striker.
Could Manchester City be a factor in this?
On the other hand, a story that was just published by Cadena SER asserts that Mbappe’s agents have been in communication with both Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Mbappe is represented by his mother, Fayza Lamari, who is assisted by at least three other individuals who are extremely close to the footballer and function as a type of unofficial representation of the player. However, these individuals are accredited and trusted by the player despite the fact that they are not officially representing the player.
According to the source, one of these three officials traveled to Manchester on Monday and spoke with a number of members of Manchester City in the days leading up to their Champions League match.
On Monday morning, the Cityzens had their workout in England, and then they boarded a flight to Copenhagen. The agent is said to have even been seen by a number of Manchester City players, according to the claims that have been made.
Another of these agents, who is even closer to Mbappe than the one who went to negotiate in Manchester, traveled to Germany and saw Real Madrid’s Champions League match against RB Leipzig on Tuesday. This person is much closer to Mbappe than the one who went to Manchester to negotiate.
Mbappe is reported to have known the individual in question since infancy. Additionally, it is stated that the individual is acquainted with Aurelien Tchouameni, a midfielder for Real Madrid, whom he met after the game on Tuesday.
It was also on Tuesday that Mbappe notified the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, of his choice, which was made public on Thursday, according to the article.
Time is the only thing that can shed light on what this signifies. On the other hand, it seems that the consensus at this time is that Mbappe will be joining Real Madrid in the summer.
