According to the Spanish press, PSG striker Kylian Mbappe has committed to join Real Madrid club in the summer of 2024 on a free transfer.
Mbappe has had close contacts to join Real Madrid club in the summer transfer window of 2022 for a fee of about 200 million euros. However, at the last minute, the player changed his mind to sign a contract extension with PSG until June 2024, with an option to extend for another year.
Mbappe still hasn’t given up on his dream of joining Real Madrid
Mbappe’s change made the leadership of the Real Madrid club with President Florentino Perez at that time very angry and called: “Everything with Mbappe is considered over”.
However, according to Relevo newspaper: “The situation has changed a lot recently, when Mbappe made the move to personally apologize to Mr. Florentino Perez for the incident in the summer of 2022 and was accepted. The relationship. between Mbappe and Real Madrid has also now been resumed.”
In recent times, Mbappe also personally confirmed that he will continue to play for PSG in the 2023-2024 season, but at the same time, he intends not to activate the extension for one more season (until June 2025). Thereby, this French striker opens the possibility of joining Real Madrid as previously desired in the summer of 2024 and on a free basis.
The fact that striker Karim Benzema stayed for another season, helped the Real Madrid leadership change their mind to wait for Mbappe in the summer of 2024
“Real Madrid club is also making moves to wait for Mbappe’s arrival, after convincing veteran striker Karim Benzema to continue playing for the team for another season (until June 2024) instead of going to Saudi Arabia. This move will also change Real Madrid’s intentions in this summer’s transfer window, when it is only aimed at strikers with backup elements such as Joselu, Marcus Thuram or Roberto Firmino instead of Marco Asensio (presumption). While, it is likely that Real Madrid will not participate in the race to own striker Harry Kane (from Tottenham) anymore, but will continue to wait for Mbappe,” said Relevo .
