Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappe is the perfect example of a love-hate relationship. Both sides wanted each other at different stages, but for one reason or another, the transfer of the French star to the Bernabeu was not possible, thus causing great tension between the parties. However, it seems that the World Cup final in which he scored a hat-trick against Argentina, and including the striker’s amazing tournament which he finished as the top scorer, convinced the Blancos to leave behind the sediments of the past and go all out for Kylian.
So how much does the European champion want Mbappe? According to a report in ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’, Real is preparing an amount close to one billion euros for the star’s contract along with the transfer amount to be paid to Paris Saint-Germain. The team from the Spanish capital is beginning to be convinced that Mbappe will wear white next summer, with his desire to leave PSG and move out of France only strengthening the probability of such a move coming to fruition.
Although he disappointed him last summer, Real president Florentino Perez is convinced that this is a strategic operation for the Madrid players, when according to the report the Spanish luxury club has already studied the 23-year-old star’s contract, which will be around 630 million euros – an amount they are willing to take on. In addition, Madrid will have to pay Paris a transfer amount of about 150 million euros – and that’s without bonuses and commissions. In doing so, Carlo Ancelotti’s team will pay Mbappe a total sum of around one billion euros.
At the Bernabeu, there is great concern about the condition of Karim Benzema, who has experienced a decline this season, when the fact that he is already 35 years old does not add optimism among the club. At Real they understand that they need a decisive player and there are very few in the club who have marked those who can do that. Therefore, Peres is convinced that only Mbappe can guarantee the future sporting success of Real Madrid.
Mbappe, for his part, wants to talk to PSG to clarify his situation. He has not changed his mind and will insist that renewing his contract was a mistake and that he wants to leave. The player understands that he has already responded to the Parisians and the Qataris by staying until the World Cup and hopes that they will not cause him problems regarding his desire to continue. Kylian will try to win the Champions League this season, but he wants to make a leap in his sports career.
