PSG are not willing to let Mbappé leave as a free agent, meaning they must sell him in the summer, and this could come at a higher fee for potential suitors, especially Real Madrid, who have been involved in the transfer saga.

Officially, the soap opera has reopened following the letter to the club by Mbappe, expressing his intention not to renew his contract beyond next season.

In Spain, fans have many expectations as they believe Los Blancos could bring the superstar to the Spanish top flight. However, the Marca report on Florentino Perez’s conversation with a fan tells us otherwise.

Now Marco Kirdemir, a FIFA agent who knows more about French football, has made a bold statement regarding the future of the PSG superstar and his next destination.

The FIFA agent told Radio Marco (h/t Bernabéu Digital) he expects Kylian Mbappé to join Real Madrid in the summer. This comes as the club recently witnessed the departure of its main forwards, Karim Benzema, Mariano Diaz, and Eden Hazard.

“Now, yes, Real Madrid will have their star player: Kylian Mbappé. We will see him 100% at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. Mbappé has realized that he has earned much money, but it’s not everything. He won’t win the Champions League with PSG. He can only win it with Madrid, Said Marco Kirdemir on radio Marca show.

The hard truth

Signing Mbappe comes with a huge price, as Los Blancos would be forced to cough out 150 to 200 million euros for his services. And the most concerning part of this is the expiring contract next summer.

But if Real Madrid were to wait, they would get him for free. However, this does not seem feasible because of interest from top European football clubs.
