Real Madrid have tried to get Mbappe before in the last transfer market season but, to the surprise of the entire footballing community, he rejected their offer for a much more financially lucrative one at his current club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where his final year was made ‘optional’.
However, pundits cannot help but thinking that the 24 year old is looking increasingly more and more like a player that should play for Los Blancos: while Mbappe faced backlash from fans for “being greedy” and was criticized by Real Madrid’s long-time President Florentino Perez, Madrid and its fans still want him on their side. Even though Mbappe has not yet released a statement of any kind yet, it is likely that he will accept at the end of his last mandatory year at PSG.
