Kylian Mbappe is one of the most important soccer players in the world. The player along with Erling Haaland have been standing out from the rest and are positioned as the future heirs of what Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo once did. Despite this, the reality of both players is very different. In one hand, Haaland lives success with Manchester City after winning the treble, while Mbappe is not having good results with PSG.

It should be remembered that the relationship between Paris Saint-Germain and Mbappe has not exactly been the best. During this summer, the 24-year-old and the club faced a battle due to the player to date not renewing his contract with the team. Given the refusal to renew, the Parisian team decided to leave the player out of the preseason in Japan. Given this, all kinds of rumors began to be generated.

After a couple of weeks training with the youth categories of the club and even missing the first round of Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappe returned to the first team. According to L'Equipe and other media, the white flag would have been raised after the former Monaco player agreed to renounce to his loyalty bonus which generated less expense for the team. Furthermore, the player returned to the field.

In turn, the player has become the team's top scorer. However, the results have not been the best for the Parisian team despite the names for this season. With the additions of Ousmane Dembele, Kolo Muani, Asensio, among others, the team sounded to stand out from the rest. At the moment, the situation has not been like that and it is speculated that Kylian could be closer than ever to Madrid.

Real Madrid didn't approach Mbappe during the summer

After an interview with Jose Manuel Otero Lastres, member of the board of Real Madrid, he stated that there was no approach from Madrid to Kylian Mbappe because they did not want to have a misunderstanding with PSG: "If we had made a wrong step with Mbappé, PSG would have tried to react against Real Madrid. In the same way, he assured that he hopes that Kylian arrives next year 2024 but in a legal way.
