A recent report suggests that Real Madrid is gearing up to present an enticing proposal to sign Kylian Mbappe in the closing days of the transfer window. According to the German newspaper Bild, between August 29 and September 1, Real Madrid plans to submit a final bid of approximately 120 million euros (around 130 million dollars) to PSG. This proposed offer falls short of PSG’s desired amount, which was around 150 million euros (approximately 163 million dollars) for the French international.
Despite the lower offer, it’s believed that this bid could still be extremely tempting. If accepted, it would pose a dilemma for PSG: either agree to the offered amount or retain the player for the final year of his contract, potentially losing him for free in 2024.
Mbappe’s situation at PSG has been tumultuous, with initial refusals to let him train with the team followed by a recent return to training and playing in a match against Toulouse. However, tensions persist within the club, with discontent among fans and an uneasy atmosphere in the dressing room.
Real Madrid sees Mbappe as a crucial addition to bolster their offensive capabilities, especially considering their urgent need for a top-tier goal scorer. While they’ve made recent signings, such as Joselu, they are aiming for someone of Mbappe’s caliber to elevate their competitive edge in European competitions. Moreover, delaying the offer until the final moments of the transfer window aims to sidestep lengthy negotiations between two clubs known for their strained relationship and lack of recent talks concerning the striker.
