The story of Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé seems to have no end. After two unsuccessful transfer attempts this Saturday, the rumors of an agreement between the two returned and it had to be the Merengue club itself who this time denied the information.
Through a statement posted on social networks, Real Madrid assured that all information disseminated on websites and social networks about an attempted negotiation with Mbappé is flatly false, especially since it concerns a player who currently has a contract with his club PSG until June 30, 2024.
“Given the information recently issued and published by different media outlets, in which there is speculation about alleged negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappé and our club, Real Madrid CF would like to state that this information is completely false and that no such negotiations have occurred. negotiations with a player who belongs to PSG”, indicates the text.
The rumors that portals and media around the world have echoed about a possible arrival of the Frenchman to the Santiago Bernabéu are based on the fact that the attacker has not sealed a renewal with the Parisians and that, if an agreement is not reached, from On January 1, 2024, he will be free to sign a contract with any club.
However, although rumors have come and gone for several months, at no time has Real Madrid attempted to finalize the signing of Mbappé, not even in 2018 when they also had to present a statement stating that there was never an offer for his signing.
At that time, Real Madrid pointed out that it had not made “any offer to PSG or the player” and regretted the dissemination of information “that is not verified by the parties.”
The team chaired by Florentino Pérez did not make any movement in the last market to attempt the arrival of Mbappé, after having signed the Englishman Jude Bellingham for more than $113 million dollars plus variables, and has insisted that it will not make any movement for the French striker until he shows his intention to no longer remain linked to PSG.
Although in the end Mbappé stayed at PSG for this season, he himself said he did not want to renew, something that bothered the club’s owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who at some point removed him from the squad due to his statements but later made the move.
