Real Madrid is reportedly confident that French forward Kylian Mbappé will join their team in 2024, according to Marca. The club views this transfer as self-evident for the upcoming summer, despite some uncertainty among Real Madrid’s leadership about the necessity of signing a player they lack complete confidence in.
Kylian Mbappé’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is set to expire on June 30, 2024, and PSG is looking to extend it, although it’s expected to be challenging. In the current season, Mbappé has scored 12 goals and secured the third place in the Ballon d’Or voting.
Real Madrid’s previous attempts to sign Mbappé were unsuccessful, mainly because of the financial and contractual complexities involved. Last summer, Mbappé had the opportunity to move to Real Madrid, but the cost and bonuses negotiated with PSG made it impractical.
The club now believes that the fourth attempt to bring Mbappé to Real Madrid will be successful, ending one of football’s most tiresome transfer sagas. Mbappé’s recent silence and the confidence of Real Madrid players, including Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Jude Bellingham, and Fede Valverde, are factors contributing to this belief.
It’s anticipated that Mbappé might join Real Madrid as a free transfer from PSG, although PSG still hopes to convince him to stay or extend his contract. If the move materializes, it could usher in a new era of Galacticos at the Santiago Bernabeu, providing a wealth of talent for the Real Madrid manager, whether it’s Carlo Ancelotti or someone else.
