Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé are repairing their relationship after a summer saga. The 24-year-old returned to the first-team training this week and there’s speculation over a possible contract extension.
Transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano reports ongoing conversations between Mbappé’s camp and PSG. However, nothing is completed, nothing is signed, and nothing is agreed over a new contract.
Real Madrid’s stance remains consistent. As the talks unfold – a patient approach with no immediate pressure or bids for Mbappé this summer. The Spanish giants anticipate the possibility of a future opportunity, likely in the summer of 2024, rather than the present.

This calculated stance from Real Madrid underscores their long-term perspective and strategic planning. While Mbappé’s allure is undeniable, the club is focused on timing their potential move to align with their broader objectives and squad dynamics.
Still, this rumor isn’t going off well in Spain. El Chiringuito pundit Juanma Rodríguez stated on Twitter that Los Blancos shouldn’t be shocked by the reported decision that Mbappé intends to extend his contract.
“If it is true that Real Madrid would be very surprised if [Mbappé] deceived to renew with PSG, it is that Real Madrid still does not know the type of person that deceived [them],” Rodríguez tweeted. “And that is very worrying.”
