The Kylian Mbappe transfer saga appears to be approaching its conclusion, with a move to Real Madrid from PSG becoming increasingly likely.
At 24 years old, Mbappe has been excluded from PSG’s first-team squad due to his refusal to renew his contract or leave the club this summer.
Despite interest from clubs like Al Hilal, Liverpool, and Chelsea, Mbappe remains steadfast in his desire to join Real Madrid.
Initially, there was no significant action from the Spanish giants as they preferred either PSG or Mbappe to initiate the move. However, recent developments indicate progress in the background.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid aims to finalize Mbappe’s signing by the second week of August and is confident about successfully completing the deal.
Interestingly, Ousmane Dembele’s potential move to PSG could potentially facilitate Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid.
PSG has reportedly reached a verbal agreement on a five-year deal with Dembele and only needs to pay his €50 million release clause by the end of the day to secure the deal.
If this deal proceeds, PSG would have found a replacement for Mbappe, and this could pave the way for his move to Real Madrid. However, the specifics of the deal might still take some time to finalize.
Real Madrid is keen on concluding the transfer by the second week of August, while PSG is also eager to resolve Mbappe’s future to avoid paying a loyalty bonus. Dembele’s potential move to Paris could expedite this process.
