Florentino Wins the Game against Al Khelaifi and Mbappé Himself: ‘Before March or Nothing

The timelines managed by the leader of the White executive are coming to fruition.

Real Madrid seems to have everything it needed to definitively get involved in negotiations to sign Kylian Mbappé.

The latest developments in the ‘Mbappé case’ have caused leaks from the French sports press to accelerate events. Kylian Mbappé has informed PSG that he will not continue as a player for the Rouge et Bleu discipline according to major media outlets in Europe, a situation that would leave Real Madrid as the only team with everything necessary to secure his signature this summer.

It hasn’t been easy to get here. Already last summer, Real Madrid showed their stance on everything coming from Paris: indifference. The White executives preferred to focus on completing the sports planning for the current season, including signing Jude Bellingham, who has arrived to become a legend at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Despite all the rumors, the response from the Valdebebas offices was always the same: if Mbappé wants to wear the white shirt, he must take the first step and announce that he is leaving PSG. The entourage of the Bondy attacker seemed to accept that challenge… which ended up materializing on Thursday, February 15th. Now that Mbappé has definitively said ‘goodbye’ to another multimillion-dollar renewal with PSG, the Madrid bosses would have initiated the necessary steps to face his incorporation.

Time fulfilled The deadline for this public gesture, revealed by José Félix Díaz in MARCA, was set for next March. To avoid being left out of his dream club for the second and final time, Kylian Mbappé would have brought forward a decision-making process that opens up new aspects to his long transfer saga. The end of the soap opera is closer than ever: only the signature on his first contract as a Madridista is missing.

His arrival at the White Club will not be the same as in 2022. Everything has changed since then, and now Mbappé is more ‘dispensable’ than two years ago. The executives’ lack of trust in his word has also affected a key issue: his salary. The downward offer, compared to the proposal in the spring of 2022, is practically immovable and leaves Mbappé between a rock and a hard place… once again. Florentino Pérez has achieved it.
