For quite some time, Real Madrid has been prominently associated with Kylian Mbappe. He turned them down in 2022 in favor of signing a two-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain, despite the club’s continued interest.
Mbappe’s contract expires at the conclusion of the season, fueling rumors that the 24-year-old might join Real Madrid as a free agency next summer, which would be a statement signing. However, according to one rumor, this will not be the case.
According to Carrusel Deportivo, Real Madrid have opted against signing Mbappe next summer, citing “sporting, economic, and social reasons” for the club’s decision.

It would be strange for Real Madrid to give up on signing Mbappe at this point. He wouldn’t cost the club anything in terms of a transfer fee, and although his wages would be exorbitant, the club could afford to pay them. It will be fascinating to see how this issue plays out in the coming weeks.
