The Real Madrid get his feet in the possible signing of Haaland but the pool where he has been trying to dive the longest is the Mbappe. And Neymar is a hinge that has a lot to say. PSG has seen itself having to negotiate at the same time the renewal of its Brazilian star and that of Mbappé, communicating vessels that from Chamartín have looked at each other with interest because one negotiation could significantly affect the other. One of those variables has been cleared. As reported Telefoot1, there is a white smoke between Neymar and PSG, a preliminary renewal agreement until 2026. The Parisian club is thus relieved of the pressure of losing Ney and he can face the Mbappé case with a different strategy. Madrid, attentive.
The continuity of Neymar frees Al-Khelaifi and his sports director, Leonardo, from the sword of Damocles to be able to be left without their planetary cracks in one fell swoop. A relief that would make Mbappé's departure acceptable if the Frenchman does not give his arm to twist and insists on delaying the renewal. Mbappé himself continues to hint that he is still somewhat annoying and the figures and conditions that his star partner has agreed with the club will undoubtedly influence his own negotiation. But for now PSG does not have so much pressure and is sliding the figures in the direction of Madrid (and Liverpool) for which he could be satisfied if he transfers Kylian because he insists on not extending his contract: he will ask for between 120 and 150 million euros.
Madrid has been developing different strategic plans, depending on how the market is shaking. Although Mino Raiola and Haaland's father are publicly auctioning the Norwegian striker, Mbappé is at the top of the list. He has a series of objectives, such as creating a cushion with this summer's sales and managing very favorable credits, to be able to undertake a galactic signing like that of the French star.
Sharing the limelight … and the dream of the Champions League
Mbappé has been shaping a relationship of coexistence with Neymar, but You already know that if you renew with PSG you will not be able to be the flag almost exclusively for the next five years. Sports also come into play in his mind. On more than one occasion he has hinted that winning the Champions League is his current number one priority and the tears after losing in the final against Bayern, more of frustration than pain, were a test. Precisely the playful hype has provided a PSG-Bayern in the quarterfinals. If PSG falls to the Munich champion, it will be the confirmation that the Parisian entity has failed again in Europe and will go back two steps in Mbappé's dream. And an incentive, and Madrid knows it, so that the forward looks for new airs. With Neymar 'insured' at PSG, he can leave without being accused of leaving PSG naked.
