Mbappe agrees to join Real Madrid 2024 ― Report

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) believe the club’s forward, Kylian Mbappe, has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer.

Mbappe, who is also captain of France’s national team, is currently in Cameroon for a visit that includes charity work with deaf children and a trip to his father’s village.

The 24-year-old forward was sent a letter by PSG on Monday making it clear he would be sold this summer unless he agrees to extend his contract before the end of this month.

If he does not extend, PSG will sell him as quickly as possible to the highest bidder – and they do not care where he goes.

According to Sky Sports, there will be no emotion and any potential transfer would be purely transactional.

In the past, it has been thought that PSG would prefer not do business with Real Madrid, but if Mbappe does not extend his contract, they will sell him to anyone who can afford to buy him.

The asking price is likely to be about £150 million.

In Monday’s letter, PSG told Mbappe his decision not to extend his contract has caused the club enormous harm.

They urge him to extend his contract “to help the club that has helped you and your family”.

Speaking on Wednesday, July 5, after unveiling Luis Enrique as the club’s new manager, PSG President, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, said: “My position is very clear. I don’t want to repeat it every time: if Kylian wants to stay, we want him to stay. But he needs to sign a new contract.

“We don’t want to lose the best player in the world for free. We can’t do that. This is a French club.

“He said he would never leave for free. If he changes his mind today, it’s not my fault. We don’t want to lose the best player in the world for free, that’s very clear.”
