Kylian Mbappe has always had a clear plan: play for Paris Saint-Germain until June 2024, then move to Real Madrid as a free agent.
This intention was evident even in mid-2022, but he was persuaded to stay with PSG due to a lucrative offer from Nasser Al Khelaifi.
Initially, Real Madrid fans were upset, feeling he had used their club to negotiate a higher wage in France. However, the resentment seems to have subsided, and now fans believe that Mbappe might indeed join the club.
Mbappe made it clear he would play for PSG this season due to the significant salary he receives there, which Real Madrid couldn’t match.
PSG provides him an 80 million euro loyalty bonus for playing the 2023-2024 season, and if he doesn’t switch teams in the upcoming winter market, the remaining half of that sum has already been paid.
PSG pushed for an automatic renewal option for Mbappe, but the player maintained his stance, understanding the financial implications for the club. His plan is straightforward: after receiving his salary and awards from PSG, he intends to move to Real Madrid to fulfill his dream.
The reason for Mbappe’s departure from PSG stems from the club losing influence with the exits of Neymar and Lionel Messi.
Mbappe sees a future at Real Madrid, and recent statements from the club’s president further indicate this possibility.
Kylian Mbappe is inching closer to a move to Real Madrid, with a well-defined plan to transition after his tenure at PSG, driven by his aspiration to play for the Spanish powerhouse.
