According to reports in Spanish media, Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid seems inevitable, with rumors suggesting that the PSG star has purchased a residence in the capital city.
Despite previously deciding to stay with Paris Saint-Germain and becoming the highest-paid player in the world in May 2022, Mbappe has been linked with a switch to Madrid for a while.
Although PSG has shaped their squad in a manner that aligns with his preferences, Mbappe has declined to extend his contract, which expires in the summer. If FootballTransfers’ internal estimations of €136 million for the potential fee are accurate, PSG might not receive any compensation for his departure.
According to Spanish journalist Jose Alvarez Haya, who cited information on El Chiringuito’s Twitch channel, Mbappe is gearing up for a significant move. He expressed the forward’s desire to play exclusively for Real Madrid in the upcoming season, indicating his reluctance to remain at PSG.
Allegedly, Mbappe trusts Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, with his future and has already acquired a property in Madrid. He believes that the ideal time to join Real Madrid will be in the summer of 2024.
Although Erling Haaland has been proposed as a more tactical fit for Real Madrid due to his versatility as a striker, the Norwegian is committed to Manchester City until 2027.
On the other hand, despite initial speculation, it’s suggested that Mbappe and Vinicius Junior could complement each other effectively, even though both prefer to play on the left side of a front three.
The prospect of Mbappe and Vinicius Junior playing ahead of Jude Bellingham, who has scored 13 goals in 14 games since his €103 million move from Borussia Dortmund, is particularly enticing.
