Mbappe agrees pre-contract with Real Madrid, but can’t sign before February

Kylian Mbappe has reportedly agreed to a contract with Real Madrid. He currently has less than a year remaining on his deal with PSG. In January, he will be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with other clubs for a potential move. 

According to Di Marzio, Mbappe has already agreed a pre-contract with Real Madrid. However, he will have to wait until February to sign the contract. They also add that the forward has his heart set on playing for Los Blancos. Only a miracle and change his mind about the move now. 

Mbappe has publicly stated that he dreams to play for Real Madrid on several occasions. He idolised Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane. Both these players are Real Madrid legends, and the France international hopes to follow in their footsteps. 

He has refused to agree to a new deal with PSG despite several attempts from their side. Madrid made three bids worth €160 million, €180 million and €200 million for the player this past summer. However, PSG refused all of their advances in hopes of renewing Mbappe’s contract before next summer. 

However, the chances of that happening seem very slim now and the Parisians could end up losing Mbappe for free next summer. They have reportedly targeted Erling Haaland as the replacement for Mbappe. Haaland has a release clause worth €75 million that comes into play next summer. And PSG are one of the clubs that are financially strong enough to pay that fee in one go.
