Now or never ? This is the message that the Spanish press, especially Madrid, seems to want to send to Kylian Mbappé this Monday morning. Thus, Marca makes its front page on the French striker by titling: “Mbappé changes the game”. And the daily to continue in these columns by evoking the reaction of Real Madrid to the latest developments concerning the Parisian striker, who was reinstated in the group on Sunday and who could well, in the end, extend his contract with Paris SG.
A reaction to say the least visibly serene, the Madrid leaders obviously having no intention of changing their tune. For them, it seems urgent… to wait and observe the soap opera from afar, without committing themselves. In other words, as Marca asserts, if Kylian Mbappé is free on January 2, 2024, Real will jump at the chance. But if the 2018 world champion finally decides to extend, so much the better for Paris. Even if said extension includes a release clause of a certain amount?
Possible. “Neither Florentino (Perez, the president of Real Madrid) nor any Real Madrid player would forgive Mbappé for an extension,” said a journalist from the show El Chiringuito in a peremptory tone. Already chilled last summer by the previous contract extension of Kylian Mbappé, the Madrid leaders would see in this act 2 the symbol of an unforgivable boorishness. Who could put a definitive end to their desire to recruit the French striker one day. A very real threat, even if, on the transfer market, yet another reversal of the situation, not to say jacket, is always possible…
