Kylian Mbappé has been free to sign with the club of his choice since January 1. Real Madrid is in the race but is proceeding cautiously to avoid upsetting the player’s camp.
Has Real Madrid exerted pressure on Mbappé? According to The Athletic, those close to the player confirm his desire to wear the Real Madrid jersey. However, Mbappé must make a gesture in favor of joining Real Madrid.
The media further emphasizes that negotiations are somewhat difficult because Fayza Lamari, Kylian Mbappé’s mother, would have been unhappy with the behavior of Real Madrid president Florentino Perez. Perez is suspected of being behind leaks in the Spanish press claiming that her son’s arrival in Madrid in 2022 was already a done deal, with the intention of putting him under pressure.
On the other hand, she reportedly appreciated the attitude of Juni Calafat, which could play a crucial role in the negotiations.
