SUMMARY
- Kylian Mbappe will be a free agent by the end of 2023-24 season.
- Mbappe has been in the headlines multiple times in regards to Real Madrid move.
PSG’s star player Kylian Mbappe has been linked with a much-talked-about transfer to the Spanish club Real Madrid. The 25-year-old will be a free agent after the 2023-2024 season ends. The French international earlier decided not to opt for a contract extension at Parc des Princes.
A few days earlier it was reported that Kylian Mbappe is almost set to join the La Liga club Real Madrid. Earlier the club’s President Florentino Perez also hinted at his wish to see Mbappe play at the Los Blancos. However, with several recent reports involving the forward’s mother and agent Fayza Lamari surfacing in the media, the France player’s move to Real Madrid may still land in jeopardy.
Mbappe is available as a free agent. So, the transfer fees don’t stand a chance to be a roadblock in the Los Blancos’ way to acquire his services. However, the wage figures needed to be agreed upon to bring the 25-year-old to Santiago Bernabeu might emerge as a hurdle.
The major obstacle in Kylian Mbappe’s road to Real Madrid
According to recent reports, Real Madrid is still in talks with Kylian Mbappe’s agent and mother Fayza Lamari. It is for agreeing on a move for the player. Also, it has been termed that Los Blanco’s hierarchy is grappling to strike a deal with Fayza for the PSG’s forward.

The major obstacle standing in the way of the club and the player’s agent is Mbappe’s wages. Reports insist that Fayza Lamari is stubborn to make his son one of the highest-paid players if he joins Real Madrid. She is not quite pleased with the fee that the Spanish club is offering. However, the La Liga club’s hierarchy may want to take their time.
Real Madrid’s failure could open doors for top Premier League clubs in terms of acquiring Kylian Mbappe
Premier League’s Liverpool has been severely linked with an anticipated move for PSG’s Kylian Mbappe. However, the Reds are not the only club that is termed to be in line for the French player. Fellow English clubs Manchester United and Arsenal are also tipped to be monitoring the forward’s situation.
Liverpool might not be in sheer need to get the French player. They currently are enjoying a good run of form. Also, the Merseyside club has a decent number of forward options. But, a speculated exit for Mohamed Salah in the summer might make way for Mbappe’s move to Liverpool.
Arsenal and Manchester United would want to get Mbappe in the summer if they can. The player will give them a big boost in terms of challenging for the top spots next season. However, all of these could only be possible if Real Madrid’s move for the PSG winger falls through.
