The future of Kylian Mbappé remains uncertain as the 24-year-old didn’t play in Paris Saint-Germain’s first game of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 season.
Recent reports suggest the capital club intends to resume contract extension talks with the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner. It’s likely one last Hail Mary to see if they can keep the French star.
Nonetheless, MARCA reports that even if Mbappé were to extend his contract with PSG, Real Madrid’s plans would remain steadfastly unchanged.
As a result, the Spanish giants are prepared to exercise patience should their pursuit of the dynamic forward prove unsuccessful this summer. The message from Madrid is clear: Their interest in Mbappé extends well beyond the current transfer window.
🚨🌕| JUST IN: If Mbappé extends his contract with PSG, it will not change Real Madrid’s plans. If they cannot sign Kylian this summer, they will wait until his contract expires after renewal in 2025, 2026 or 2027. Perez will not sign anyone else. @marca #rmalive pic.twitter.com/Uy2eyhGx9M

Even if Mbappé were to commit to a contract extension with PSG, Real Madrid’s strategy would remain consistent. The club, under president Florentino Pérez, appears committed to securing the services of the Frenchman.
Real Madrid is prepared to wait until after Mbappé’s contract renewal, which is anticipated in 2025, 2026, or 2027.
Pérez’s stance on the matter is steadfast. Real Madrid, it seems, has anchored their ambitions on Mbappé, and no alternative signings are being considered.
