All clubs are nearing the start of their 2023-24 season, which explains why the Kylian Mbappé transfer saga might hit overdrive. The 24-year-old isn’t on the summer tour in Asia as his future needs to be settled soon.
Mbappé began this saga when he opted not to trigger his option to extend his contract until 2025. As a result, PSG has to sell him this summer to avoid losing him as a free agent.
Nonetheless, Real Madrid has set a deadline for a Mbappé transfer to be completed. ESPN’s Rodrigo Fáez reports that both PSG and Real Madrid aim to resolve the situation before the start of the new season.

With the first week of August fast approaching, the various parties involved in the negotiations are eager to finalize the deal and end the high-profile transfer saga.
The two clubs have been negotiating to find common ground on the transfer fee. However, reaching an agreement has proven to be complex, with both clubs holding firm on their respective stances.
Los Blancos reportedly don’t want to pay the high transfer fee, so talks over a price are likely ongoing. It will be interesting to see if both sides can reach a deal and begin new chapters.
