Mbappé Deal Sealed: Florentino Outsmarts Al Khelaifi
The saga of the Parisian sensation continues to reverberate throughout the football world, intensifying in the coming weeks as the Bondy-born star must make a crucial decision about his future.
The ‘Mbappé case,’ which some believe still holds many unwritten chapters, is starting to wear on the patience of the football world. At times, it feels like an endless narrative that refuses to conclude.
Contributing to this frustration are PSG executives, aiming to create chaos and muddy the relationship between Real Madrid and the player.
Rumors, fake news, and biased reports persist, especially from French media operating under the directives of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
However, Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are confident in their upcoming moves, determined not to repeat past mistakes in this case.
On January 1, 2024, Kylian Mbappé will be free to negotiate and sign with any club of his choosing, a fact well-known in both Paris and Madrid.
This has led to numerous meetings and discussions within Real Madrid, resulting in an unwavering internal agreement on this signing.
“If he doesn’t sign throughout January, it means he doesn’t want to come…” is the current motto echoing through the Santiago Bernabéu, a sentiment shared by all responsible figures in the sports management.
Hence, the internal agreement within the White House is to allow the entirety of January and even part of February for negotiations but not to extend it beyond that.
If, by the middle of the second month of the year, Kylian Mbappé has yet to put pen to paper, his departure from Real Madrid will be closer than ever. The Madrid entity is keen to avoid complications with PSG or his contract renewal, and this time, the Merengues plan to preempt the French side in their move.
