Real Madrid Gains Upper Hand as Mbappe’s Contract Nears Expiry Despite Liverpool’s Minimal Interest

Despite recent conflicting rumors, Real Madrid stands out as the front-runner for Kylian Mbappe’s potential move when his contract concludes next summer. While Liverpool has been in the mix for the French World Cup winner, it seems Los Blancos have received a favorable turn of events.

The prospect of Mbappe joining Real Madrid has been a recurring theme in every transfer window for the past few years. However, the deal has yet to materialize, with the Paris Saint-Germain superstar continuing his tenure in the French capital.

Although the 24-year-old inked a new deal with PSG last year, it was not a long-term commitment and is scheduled to expire next summer. During the recent pre-season tour, Mbappe was notably absent, fueling speculations about an imminent exit. Initially, it was suggested that PSG either wanted him to extend his contract or leave. Surprisingly, Mbappe has returned to action for the French giants without signing an extension.

The latest information, shared by Florian Plettenberg, indicates that Liverpool is not aggressively pursuing Mbappe, making Real Madrid the most plausible destination for the player. This reinforces Real Madrid’s position as the frontrunner for the World Cup winner. While Mbappe’s contract is set to expire next summer, there remains the possibility of a short or long-term extension with PSG.

PSG appears to be relatively calm amidst the unfolding developments, a departure from the situation during the summer. With Mbappe yet to renew his contract with PSG, next summer could see the realization of his move to Real Madrid. As of January, the Frenchman will be free to engage in discussions with other clubs.
