Will the sensational transfer of the summer actually still take place? According to a Spanish media report, PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé is about to move to Real Madrid. But there are still big question marks.
If the information from the Spanish portal “Vozpópuli” from Wednesday afternoon is correct, Kylian Mbappé is a Real Madrid player before the end of the transfer period on Friday evening. Accordingly, the mega deal could even be made official “in a few hours”, it is said.
The transfer would undoubtedly be the biggest deal of the summer, both from a sporting and financial point of view.
In his report, “Vozpópuli” refers to sources that are said to be very close to Real Madrid. As a result, club president Florentino Pérez has agreed to make an offer to Mbappé’s employer Paris Saint-Germain. However, the informants did not want to reveal how high the offer was.
However, it was leaked that the PSG bosses from Qatar had now lowered the price for Mbappé.
Was Vinícius Junior’s injury a reason to rethink?
“Sport Bild” also recently reported that Real Madrid could still make an official offer for the 24-year-old shortly before Deadline Day. According to the sports newspaper, the fee could amount to 120 million euros – significantly less than the 250 million euros originally requested by PSG.
Recently, however, it was said, also with a view to the approaching end of the change period, that Real Madrid and Mbappé are more likely to aim for a transfer next summer. Then the attacker is available for free. However, Paris Saint-Germain wants to avoid that scenario at all costs, in the meantime the Frenchman had been removed from the squad during the preparation.
At Real Madrid, in addition to Karim Benzema’s departure, which was ultimately quite surprising, the recent injury to striker Vinícius Junior is said to have been the reason for a change of course, according to “Vozpópuli”.
