Real Madrid continues to hang up on the phone for the green light from Kylian Mbappe, but so far, nothing has come from the French forward.
There have been reports of different deadlines and important dates, with Real Madrid wanting a decision in January, while Paris Saint-Germain were keen to settle the matter before the return of the Champions League. Both milestones have come, and there is little clarity about Mbappe's future.
On Monday it was reported that Mbappe's entourage has doubts on his signing for Los Blancos, partly citing the large financial disparity between what he would earn at PSG and Real Madrid. Chain SER confirm this news, saying that the mother and agent Fayza Lamari has always been more attentive to a renewal in Paris, seeing it here for at least a year.
Recently, the CEO of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, also announced that they would also play their football in a new stadium, which could be an exciting prospect for Mbappe to be the one to inaugurate it. During the week, 600 PSG fans also came to training to ask him to stay in Paris two. The Spanish outlet says both are factors in their decision.
It is impossible to know exactly how Mbappe thinks, and it would not be unfair to think that the delay may be a tactical move to see how much higher the offers for Mbappe. Real Madrid appear to be at the point where it's a take it or leave it offer, but it wouldn't be the first time they've bent over backwards for him.
