The storied Spanish football team Real Madrid seems to have relented in its summer pursuit of Kylian Mbappé, a forward from France. current information is related to rumours that Mbappé, whose deal with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expires in 2024, is requesting a substantial €240 million transfer fee during current window.
Mbappé, who has been linked to Real Madrid for a while, recently upset PSG by saying he is not interested in extending his contract. This led to rumours that PSG would trade their top player this summer in order to keep him from becoming a free agent the following year.
However, it appears that Real Madrid is not holding its breath for a Mbappé transfer, as reported by MARCA. The team feels that the player can only be secured if a deal is signed after January 1, 2024, when discussions officially begin.
Notably, a player’s transfer to Real Madrid is subject to both the player’s substantial personal package and the transfer’s high asking price. The club apparently chose to wait until the next summer to pursue Mbappé in order to avoid paying a transfer fee when he might be available as a free agent.

It’s crucial to remember that nothing is certain while the Kylian Mbappé controversy unfolds. Clubs in the Premier League are probably keeping an eye on the Frenchman, and it’s possible that he will suddenly extend his contract with PSG.
The Spanish goliaths are reportedly looking at different options in light of recent developments. Real Madrid apparently feels dissatisfied and disappointed by Mbappé’s insistence on getting the best possible financial offer, despite their well-publicized desire to capture the talented French forward.
The player’s potential move to the Spanish capital appears increasingly unlikely given the recent development in the Mbappé negotiation saga. Given that Mbappé won’t be a free agent until next summer, Real Madrid is now likely to pursue a short-term option to support Joselu up front.
Mbappé may yet transfer to Real Madrid in the future, but the Spanish powerhouses’ choice demonstrates their practical approach to striking a balance between high-profile purchases and financial sustainability.
