With Erling Haaland, a Madrid target, already ruled out, Madrid are clear that their No9 for the future has to be Kylian Mbappe. It can't be anyone else.
Madrid have been on the trail of Mbappe for some time now. The attacker does not plan to reveal what he is going to do from 2022-23 until the end of the season.
If PSG do not prevent it, Mbappe will leave for free this summer, as his contract expires on 30th June. The French club are working to renew him, but the striker has not told his club whether he intends to stay or not.
'Mundo Deportivo', however, places Mbappe squarely at Madrid. Two "clues", details this newspaper, encourage him to think that 'Los Blancos' club has tied him down.
This source claims that, during his trip to Madrid, Mbappe ate with Real Madrid emissaries and not with his teammate Achraf Hakimi. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', eyewitnesses have confirmed to the media outlet that the PSG striker had a relaxed meal with representatives of the Spanish club.
Not only that. The Catalan newspaper goes one step further and claims that Madrid are already preparing to make his signing official. In fact, they are already stamping shirts with Mbappe's name on them in order to put 20,000 on sale on the same day that his arrival is announced.
