All eyes are on Real Madrid as the Kylian Mbappé transfer saga has kicked off this week. The 25-year-old, whose contract expires in June, can now sign a pre-contract with any club.
The Spanish side reportedly has a firm deadline on their proposal to the Frenchman. Although Los Blancos intends to adopt a tough negotiating stance, they are committed to preserving the confidentiality of any information and avoiding any potential harm to the situation.
What’s the latest in the Kylian Mbappé transfer saga?
El Chiringuito host Josep Pedrerol provided the latest regarding Real Madrid’s pursuit of Mbappé. The Spanish journalist notes that nothing is signed, despite what the rumor mill might say.
“Madrid will not do anything that could harm the footballer,” Pedrerol said on Tuesday’s show. “It means not leaking any movement; none. Madrid wants to avoid the footballer suffering the consequences of the media knowing about any contact with Real Madrid. There will be no leaks. Secrecy will be absolute.
“But I’m not saying they have negotiated because there is no signed contract. There is no contract in a safe deposit box. No one can say Madrid has him tied up already and signed a pre-contract. Nothing is signed. We are in a situation of trust again, of confidence.”

While maintaining a level of respect for confidentiality throughout this process, Real Madrid has reportedly established a two-week timeframe for Mbappé to commit to the pre-agreement.
Failure to do so might lead to a definitive parting of ways. Conversely, Liverpool sees the Frenchman as the prospective heir to Mohamed Salah.
The Real Madrid are set to, if they have not already, offer Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe a contract, as he entered the last six months of his deal . Only he knows his future, but there is quiet confidence that this time, at the fourth time of asking, Mbappe will sign for Real Madrid.
