It’s not any secret that Real Madrid hope to sign Kylian Mbappe at some point. However, no one thought this transfer could happen this summer, since the Frenchman was expected to stay at PSG at least for another season.

In a shocking turn of events, the striker could be on the move only a year after re-signing for Paris Saint-Germain. Mbappe let the club know he doesn’t intend to trigger the option for a further year, which means he could become a free agent in 2024.

That’s why Madrid may have the opportunity to sign him now, since PSG prefer to get something in return rather than losing him for free next year. But since Mbappe’s price tag won’t come cheap, the Spanish giants may be considering cashing in for a starter.
