What's new on Kylian Mbappe and potential Real Madrid transfer?

With his Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) contract expiring in six months, Kylian Mbappe has set a deadline to decide his future, generating uncertainty for both PSG and Real Madrid. Because he is allowed to engage with foreign teams during the summer transfer window, persistent speculation points to a possible move to Real Madrid. Mbappe's self-imposed deadline for a decision, according to Diario Sport, is set to come in February, just before the start of the Champions League last 16.

Mbappe has previously stated that he has not made a final choice but has hinted at an "agreement" with PSG over his future. While he has previously been linked with Real Madrid, he elected to remain in France following a lengthy saga in 2021.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Mbappe has remained a key component of PSG's plans this season, scoring 22 goals in 23 appearances across all competitions.

Real Madrid expects to be in the mix as the transfer story unfolds, but Mbappe's supposed deadline goes beyond their rumoured mid-January deadline, adding another layer of complication to the current speculation.
