According to Fabrizio Romano, the transfer market specialist, Real Madrid is confident about reaching a deal with Kylian Mbappé.
While nothing has been officially signed yet, there is ongoing progress in the negotiations. A formal decision from Mbappé’s side is expected soon. As of now, PSG President Nasser Al Khelaifi and the club haven’t received any formal communication.
The situation doesn’t confirm a 100% departure, contrary to what was asserted by Le Parisien over the weekend. However, it appears that the prospect of Mbappé leaving is becoming more likely. Fabrizio Romano notes that the total confidence of Real Madrid has been shared in the dressing room.
In terms of financial considerations, it’s mentioned that Kylian Mbappé would need to make financial concessions. The reported salary would be “significantly lower than that of 2022.” Meanwhile, PSG has reportedly prepared a backup plan in case Mbappé decides to leave. Names like Rafael Leão and Victor Osimhen are being mentioned in the media as part of PSG’s contingency plan.
The tweet from Fabrizio Romano outlines these updates and emphasizes that while things are progressing, a formal decision from Mbappé is crucial and awaited in the coming days.
