Negotiations to bring Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid have not yet concluded, although the club’s executives are increasingly optimistic. Fayza Lamari has called Florentino Pérez again with a breaking news from Barcelona.
Real Madrid are working hard to sign Kylian Mbappé this summer. It is not an easy signing, as the French striker is not willing to lose money or the privileges he currently enjoys at the Parc des Princes. But the most fundamental parts of the agreement are reportedly already closed.
As always, there are last-minute doubts. The offices at Valdebebas have received a call from Fayza Lamari that directly concerns these negotiations: FC Barcelona has re-entered the operation. It is not the first time that Joan Laporta has tried to pull off a surprise by signing the French striker, a possibility that Mbappé himself dismissed when he became aware of it.
But the Barcelona directors have focused their potential signing from another point of view: Ethan Mbappé. The contract of the midfielder, Kylian’s younger brother, also ends this season: the offices in Poissy have not yet called Fayza Lamari to talk about a renewal that they are eagerly awaiting in the 17-year-old midfielder’s entourage.
They are waiting
That is the offer that FC Barcelona makes to the Mbappés: to make a contract for Ethan Mbappé for “five years”, being “on loan between the reserve team and the first team and having guaranteed his presence with the first team from the second season onwards”. Real Madrid are not so sure about the operation: Florentino Pérez considers that his signing and arrival at the first team would bring some problems because he is ‘the brother of’, some turbulence in the dressing room that the white executives want to avoid at all costs.
Despite the offer sent from Barcelona and the doubts in Valdebebas, Ethan Mbappé has chosen PSG as his team. He even had to confirm his permanence when his older brother, Kylian, revealed to his teammates that he would not be staying at the Parc des Princes for next season: “I’m not leaving”, words that he hopes to fulfill with a new contract.
