Real Madrid Tenggat Until February To Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe is getting closer to Real Madrid (Instagram/@k.mbappe).

JAKARTA - Kylian Mbappe has taken the important signal that Real Madrid has been waiting for. The French player has officially notified Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) President Nasser Al Kelaifi about the certainty of leaving the Parc des Princes at the end of the season.

Real Madrid can breathe a sigh of relief. You see, they had waited months until Mbappe finally took the step.

Los Blancos president Florentino Perez can now start working to seal Mbappe's signature.

The news was strengthened by a statement by a transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, through an X (Twitter) account.

"Further on Kylian Mbappe. The decision is 100 percent confirmed because Nasser Al Khelaifi has been notified today."

"PSG and Mbappe will communicate together about Kylian's exit in the coming months."

"Real Madrid continues to work on Mbappe's deal with full confidence to resolve it," wrote Romano.

However, Madrid this time acted more decisively. They have set a deadline for Mbappe so that the incident two years ago does not happen again.

In fact, Los Blancos management has already laid out an alternative strategy if Mbappe turns around and decides to stay at PSG.

First, there is news that Perez and Madrid's Director of Sports, Jose Angel Sanchez, have considered giving Mbappe a deadline in February 2024 to finalize the deal.

Madrid did not want to let Mbappe turn around and extend his contract again with PSG.

In addition, Madrid also wants to protect the club's economic stability. They made a new offer to Mbappe that was not even half of the previous contract offer of 53.8 million US dollars per year.

Second, Madrid wants an announcement to the public in March 2024 if Mbappe agrees to join forces and officially part ways with PSG. Otherwise, Los Merengues will look for other targets.

Previously, it was known that two years ago Mbappe was approached by Madrid and was only one step away from moving to the Santiago Bernabeu. Both sides have reached an agreement.

However, the news was heard to the PSG President's ears so that they gave a more interesting contract extension.

In the end, Mbappe refused Madrid suddenly and chose to stay at the Parc des Princes.

Now the conditions are different. Mbappe decided not to extend his contract and told PSG President that he would definitely leave at the end of the season.

That move is certainly a positive signal for Madrid. However, a new problem came when many clubs also made offers after the news of Mbappe's separation from PSG.

Liverpool, Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, and the Saudi Arabian Pro League club are hunting Mbappe.
