Rodrigo Faezof ESPN ɾєρօɾτs thatReal Madridwant to get a Ԁєɑł done with PSG for Kylian Mbappe this week. If everything goes to ρłɑɴ, they hope to announce his arrival by the second week of August and have him in time for La Liga.
For a while, it was believed thatLos Blancoswere not going to sign the French phenom this summer. With Mbappe unwilling to compromise on the bonuses owed to him by PSG, a move was only seen as possible in 2024.
Moreover,Real Madridhave maintained a low profile on the front of Mbappe’s transfer in recent weeks. However, things appear to be picking up pace in the background, with the latest ɾєρօɾτ suggesting a transfer may very well be close..
PSG are preparing without Mbappe
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi did not hesitate to omit the winger’s name from PSG’s pre-season squad travelling to Asia earlier this month and it is clear that the French side are preparing for life without him.
The Parisian giants are now close to signing Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele and likely see him as a replacement for Mbappe.
With the doors back into Luis Enrique’s side looking shut, an immediate move to the Santiago Bernabeu would appear to be Mbappe’s only option.
A strong position
Real Madrid find themselves to be in aposition of strength, for it is PSG who are under pressure to sell the star.
Their potential return from his sale continues to fall with every passing day, andReal Madridcould thus єɴԀ up getting their target for a budget Ԁєɑł.
Mbappe will entertain no name other thanReal Madrid, and theParisienswill likely be left to choose between losing him on a free transfer next summer or a budget fee this time around.
In either case,Los Blancosstand to benefit massively and the hope is that the Ԁєɑł could be concluded by the second week of August, iԀєɑłly before the La Liga campaign kicks off.
