Kylian Mbappe's Future And The Possibility Of Moving Kalvin Phillips Will Be Crowded On The European Transfer Market
JAKARTA - The future of Kylian Mbappe and the news that continues to roll on about his relationship with Real Madrid is expected to enliven and will become a major topic when the transfer window opens in Europe on Monday, January 1. Meanwhile Manchester City is expected to let Kalvin Phillips leave the club, ending a disappointing period for former Leeds midfielders who failed to show his achievements with the world champions' club, according to the AFP records quoted Monday, January 1. However, attention will return to focus much on Mbappe, the quenching striker Paris Saint-Germain and the player who scored a hat-trick for the French national team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup final. Real Madrid again became the main applicant for the 25-year-old player whose contract at PSG will end in June. The question is, will the Spanish club win 14 times it finally get a commitment from the player they have been chasing for so many years? But it seems still far from certainty because of the extraordinary reaction appearing in France regarding Mbappe's career. For example, when President Emmanuel Macron stepped in to persuade him to stay in PSG in June 2022 when his move to Real 2022 seems to be almost certain. Real Madrid itself will also hunt down other players in the transfer window this year. Erick, the young Brazilian star, will join the club from Palmeiras when he turned 18 in July 2024 with the reported transfer fee of 72 million euros. Meanwhile, Kalvin Phillips was in his best form when the midfielder joined Manchester City when with the England national team advanced to the final of Euro 2022. But he only played a few games for the club and Pep Guardiola admitted the departure never succeeded.
