When we get closer to the end of August, things pick up in the transfer market as time goes by. Things go at breakneck speed and this happens until 31st August when the transfer window closes. Kylian Mbappe, of course, had to be involved.
The latest news on the French footballer is that he does not want to renew at his current club, PSG, although he has no problem in seeing out the final year of his contract. He would then become a free agent in summer 2022.
It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for European clubs. Getting such a superb young player for nothing is unthinkable. Real Madrid were considered to be the big favourites and the 2018 World Cup winner has been their biggest target in recent years.
The arrival of Messi in the French capital had given the French club hope, but apparently the '7', is not thinking of making any changes. 'Marca' says on their front page this Monday that Madrid are in the closing stages of making a bid for him.
However, Mbappe will also have to do his bit if he wants to leave early. According to the cited meida outlet, he has once again told the club that he does not want to extend his contract and that created more doubt in a PSG that always said that their star will leave Paris.
While we wait for events, the newspaper also said that Real Madrid have got themselves an offer which they put to PSG this summer. The French outfit have got themselves a star studded squad, but they could lose a key player this summer.
