If Kylian Mbappe wants to sign with Real Madrid this summer, he will need to force his way out of Paris Saint-Germain for a fair transfer fee, according to 90min.
The 24-year-old has notified PSG that he has no plans to sign a new contract or exercise an option to extend his existing agreement past 2024.
The French champions were astounded by this decision—reports from France even claim they were perplexed by Mbappe's decision to write them a letter outlining his decision—and now they must decide whether to sell Mbappe this summer or let him leave for free next year.
In addition to losing Lionel Messi to Inter Miami on a free transfer, PSG now faces uncertainty regarding Neymar's future at Parc des Princes due to interest from Saudi Arabia.
Prior to electing to stay at PSG in 2022 as a free agent, Mbappe was on the verge of signing for Real Madrid, which came as a great shock to Los Blancos.
According to sources cited by 90min, Real Madrid wants to take a closer look at Mbappe's situation this summer before making a decision.
According to reports from throughout Europe, PSG could demand a nine-figure sum for Mbappe, and 90min understands that Real Madrid is hesitant to engage in such a bidding war.
Real Madrid is looking for a new center forward after Karim Benzema left for Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad, and they have their sights set on Harry Kane, Lautaro Martinez, and Dusan Vlahovic.
Real Madrid would feel at ease prioritizing a deal for a natural number nine, according to 90min, but they would not be concerned about integrating Mbappe into a system because they believe he is capable of playing through the center.
Mbappe and Real Madrid ultimately have a common goal in making a deal work, but Los Blancos will need the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner to assist in convincing PSG to allow Mbappe to leave.
