As the summer transfer window nears its final hours, rumors will surface, including the latest regarding Kylian Mbappé. The 24-year-old’s name was linked to Real Madrid all summer, but no move has occurred.
While there’s speculation over whether the La Liga club will submit a last-minute bid, don’t expect that to happen.
Even though MARCA’s Carlos Carpio says Real Madrid is waiting on the call from the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner’s camp to make a move, the Spanish outlet is reporting other information.
MARCA reports that Real Madrid remains firm on their position: the market is closed for them. Despite losing Vinícius Júnior to a thigh injury, it appears Los Blancos will roll with what they have.

Furthermore, this stance hints that they want to acquire the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner via free agency. Mbappé’s current contract expires next summer after he opted not to trigger the option to extend his contract until 2025.
As a result, if Mbappé stays past this transfer window, the PSG star has three options to consider as he plays this 2023-24 season on an expiring contract. What will he decide to do? This entire saga is a rollercoaster ride, so it’s tough to predict.
