Intensive phone discussions have taken place in recent days between the management of the Madrid club and two representatives of Mbappé. A contract proposal is to be presented to his agents at a meeting scheduled in Paris this October. Although Real Madrid is pushing for a signature in January next year, Mbappé would prefer to wait until the end of the 2023-2024 season.
Florentino Perez in action
Despite the disappointment of some Real Madrid fans who had hoped to see the captain of the French national team join Spain at the end of last season, club president Florentino Perez has never broken contact with Mbappé’s entourage and is personally involved in negotiations to attract the French international.
He will wear the number 9
Kylian Mbappé, who is in the last year of his contract with PSG, is expected to wear the number 9 at Real and sign a four-year contract with an optional fifth year. Although financial details have not been disclosed, it is assured that the World Cup champion will be the highest paid player in La Liga. Fayza Lamari, Kylian Mbappé’s mother, who recently created an agency to represent her son, is also expected to settle in Madrid.
In 2022, the native of Bondy had already given a preliminary agreement to Real to join their team. At the time, he had finally accepted a “golden contract” from Paris Saint-Germain, binding him to the capital club until 2024, with an option for an additional year, which he does not intend to honor, as he confirmed this summer. This time, not even a stunning offer from Qatar should be enough to keep Kylian Mbappé.
