It was to be expected that this would happen. Real Madrid was very “calm” if you can say that in the race for Kylian Mbappé, but as it could not be otherwise for one of the top 3 in the world there will be more than important competition. It was known that Liverpool would send their offers, this had been anticipated by the prestigious newspaper The Sun, in Great Britain, and it was also known that Manchester United was dropping out of the race after not closing the agreement to sell the club to Qatar.

Now, the renowned newspaper La Gazetta dello Sport has confirmed that not only will Liverpool seek to sit down to negotiate with Kylian Mbappé, but that Chelsea will also be at the table. In fact, the economic power of The Blues would be even greater than that of Anfield and they would have no problem putting on the table the millions that the Frenchman asks for. It is worth remembering that Mbappé's salary at PSG is close to 100 million net per season and there are few institutions in the world (except those in Saudi Arabia) that can meet these costs.

Madrid will not have an easy time hiring Mbappé, but the truth is that the white board trusts the famous desire of the player, who would be inclined to play at the Santiago Bernabéu. The confidence is even such that they believe that the outcome of this will be similar to the arrival of Jude Bellingham. There were many clubs that could put up the millions that the Borussia Dortmund player was worth and City even offered him a better salary, but the desire to play for Real Madrid was more important and it was the player himself who tipped the balance.

Total uncertainty: What will Mbappé decide?

Nobody dares to predict how this soap opera will end. The fact is that Mbappé has shown clear signs of being totally unpredictable when it comes to making decisions about his future and there are even those who still do not understand why he did not arrive at Madrid this summer. The truth is that while PSG is playing the last card of the renewal until 2025, the merengue club is more than confident of closing its signing in January 2024.
