The Kylian Mbappé transfer saga took a twist this week, with the 24-year-old returning to the first team. Mbappé began the entire saga early in the summer after opting not to trigger the option to extend his contract until 2025.
Nonetheless, as both sides appear on speaking terms now, RMC Sport reports that voices close to the club have revealed intriguing insights into the contract extension saga.
Furthermore, the French media outlet notes that Mbappé might have cracked open the door to extending his stay at PSG. Still, clarity remains elusive, as the player’s camp refrains from confirming such developments.

Aware of the complexities and sensitivities involved, PSG has asserted its commitment to crafting a deal that benefits all parties involved. The club’s officials have echoed the term win-win, indicating their determination to find common ground.
Amid the speculation, an additional dimension has emerged: The commitment of Kylian Mbappé to avoid any actions that could harm PSG during the negotiations.
Ultimately, the central goal for PSG remains to convince Mbappé to extend his tenure at the club. It is uncertain whether to sell the forward next summer or build a project around him.
Real Madrid remains patient with this latest news as it seems they have their eyes on 2024 to land the player.
In my opinion, Real Madrid should come out to actualise their interest in Mbappe at this point in time,to encourage the striker for the next summer’s transfer. His feeling to go RM is real.
