Real Madrid Sets Deadline for Kylian Mbappe Decision as Contract Offer Looms

Real Madrid is gearing up for another attempt to secure the services of Kylian Mbappe, with a final decision expected by the third week of January. The French forward’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer, and Real Madrid is ready to make a fourth bid to bring him to the Spanish capital.

Jose Angel Sanchez, Real Madrid’s General Director, is set to send the contract offer to Mbappe’s agent and mother, Fayza Lamari, on the first of January. If Mbappe accepts the terms, the deal, including signing the contract, will be finalized promptly. The player will have a two-week window to make his decision, after which the offer will expire.

The proposed salary and bonuses, equivalent to the terms believed to be in place two summers ago, have already been agreed upon. Mbappe is set to earn a net salary of €26 million per year, nearly double that of any other player in the squad, making it the highest salary in Real Madrid’s history. Additionally, he will receive a signing bonus of €130 million.

Real Madrid is adopting a firm stance in negotiations, expressing confidence that they will secure Mbappe’s signature this time. The club is unwilling to engage in prolonged or changed negotiations, and if Mbappe delays or alters the terms, Real Madrid is prepared to walk away definitively.

Despite the previous setbacks, the club is confident in the bright future with emerging talents like Jude Bellingham, Endrick Felipe, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo Goes. Real Madrid is not willing to be stood up again and is ready to move on if Mbappe decides against joining the club. Florentino Perez’s fascination with signing Mbappe would need to be relinquished if the player rejects the offer once more.
