MBAPPE’S move to Real Madrid was thwarted last summer, but the French forward's contract expires at the end of the season, and speculation about a move to Spain has continued.
Kylian Mbappe's future remains uncertain, with the Paris Saint-Germain forward's contract expiring in the summer and no hint of an extension in sight.
While the Frenchman has maintained his commitment to the club on the pitch, a new interview has thrown fuel to the fire that he is set to depart Paris for Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants tried to recruit the 22-year-old over the summer and have since expressed their disappointment with the €200 million proposal, with president Florentino Perez saying: "Players are not sold by state-owned clubs. It's insane "..
"We've made an offer of €200 million for a single player, but they refuse to sell him. It's great when players finish their contracts "Perez continued.
Real Madrid isn't done pursuing Mbappe, and his latest statements may give them reason to believe they can bring him to the Bernabeu.
When Mbappe's contract expires, he may be free to depart PSG.
Since joining PSG from Monaco in 2017, Mbappe has scored 100 Ligue 1 goals and has helped the team reach the 2020 Champions League final.
This season, the French team is in the fight for European glory once again, but they will have to get past Real Madrid to advance.
The forward has spent his whole career in LIGUE 1, winning numerous championships, but his recent remarks regarding "life experience" could indicate a move away from home.
Mbappe told Paris Match, "Human ties are considerably more exciting (than money)" (via RMC Sport ).
"More than making money, it's the life experience that counts," he continued.
"Above all, I'm hungry for new experiences, trips, encounters with players, and exposure to foreign cultures...
"I have a calm relationship with money: I understand its importance and am grateful to have it, but it isn't what motivates me every second of the day."
Mbappe was a member of the PSG team that lost in the Champions League final in 2020.

Mbappe might be free to speak to other teams in the new year if he does not agree to a contract extension with PSG before a summer move.
This could affect the next Champions League last-16 match between PSG and Real Madrid, with the first leg taking place in Paris in February and the second leg in Madrid in March.
In Mbappe's first season in Paris, the teams were paired together at the same stage, with Real Madrid winning both legs en route to their most recent Champions League victory in 2018.
PSG got some retribution in the 2019-20 group stages, with MBAPPE missing a 3-0 win at the Parc des Princes but scoring in a 2-2 draw at the BURNABY.
PSG's highest scorer in all competitions this season is the World Cup winner, with four of his 13 goals coming in the Champions League.
