For years, Real Madrid has been consistently associated with Kylian Mbappe, yet efforts to bring him to the Santiago Bernabeu have proven unsuccessful. Recently, CadenaSER disclosed that the Spanish powerhouse has made a definitive decision not to pursue him in the upcoming summer, even if he becomes available as a free agent after the expiration of his contract.
The report outlines three primary reasons behind Madrid’s choice to abstain from signing Mbappe. Firstly, his salary demands exceed €20 million (£17m/$21m) annually, with an additional substantial bonus for joining as a free agent. To put this into perspective, recent recruit Jude Bellingham is currently on a contract worth €9 million (£8m/$10m) per season.
Secondly, considering that Mbappe would be approaching 26 years of age upon his potential transfer to the Spanish capital, this contradicts Madrid’s current policy of prioritizing young talents. Players like Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, and incoming striker Endrick are examples of this youth-focused approach.
Moreover, Mbappe’s previous decision to reject Madrid in favor of a lucrative contract with PSG has generated a negative perception among club members. Real Madrid is apprehensive about the impact that investing heavily to secure Mbappe’s services would have on both fan morale and the club’s economic situation.
While Mbappe has long been viewed as a prospective star for Madrid, he chose to extend his contract with PSG instead of making a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2022. It is noteworthy that other clubs in the Premier League are reportedly vying for his signature should he decide to part ways with PSG next year. The talented attacker is set to showcase his skills again on Saturday in a Ligue 1 clash against Reims.
