Real Madrid will not go to war with PSG for Mbappé. In the meetings that have been held in the white entity in the last hours with the actors who must participate in a future negotiation, the conclusion has been reached that it is better not to force the situation and to let the transfer of the footballer fall on his own. weight. In this sense, without any official data for obvious reasons, Madrid receives the information that PSG will have to sell players worth 150 million euros to comply with the Financial Fair Play. Between letting Mbappé go free in 2022 or removing those accounting constraints, Madrid hopes that the Parisian entity will agree to negotiate.
Mbappé has kept the word he had given Madrid and once the Eurocup was over He spoke with several people from the PSG leadership to assure them that he had no intention of renewing his contract, which expires in 2022. Then, he went on vacation and everything was settled between the player and PSG to continue talking after his return to work, which is planned for the 20th of this month. However, people close to the footballer's environment advised Real Madrid to apply some pressure to facilitate this transfer negotiation. But, to this day, Madrid discards that route of force.
These people close to the footballer advised Madrid not so much that their leaders make high-sounding statements regarding the player's situation (he is really in a golden prison), but that they do internal pressure, calls from president to president to put on the table the situation: Mbappé has been honest and wants to go to Real Madrid, and this is what will end up happening from next January 1, when he will be able to sign his contract for white because it is allowed by the FIFA transfer regulations despite the fact that he will still half a season to play in Paris.
The same thing happens with Lewandowski, Madrid know they are within reach, but they do not want to face Bayern
Something similar has happened in Madrid with Lewandowski. As AS published, the Polish striker has put himself within range because he is open to change of scene and face new challenges although he has two years left on his contract in Munich. And wearing the white t-shirt is the biggest of his dreams yet. Madrid is well aware of this situation. Although it is true that Bayern does not want to hear about his departure, a step in front of the white entity and the strength that the forward could make (he would make it safe) could have triggered his departure. But, once again, Madrid does not want to go to war with first-line teams from the continent, neither with Bayern nor with PSG.
With regard to Mbappé, if the player remains firm in his intention not to renew (in addition, he finished the Eurocup even more convinced of wanting a change of scenery due to the many criticisms he received in his country), Madrid has the firm possibility of that can reach zero cost. You would only have to pay a transfer premium that would be around 20-30 million euros. Undoubtedly, a much more advantageous situation for the coffers of the entity, since coming this summer his signing would rise to the 150 million minimum (100 plus 40 paid for Hazard when he also had one year left). But if PSG wants to negotiate, Madrid will pay that amount, in deference to everything done by the star and, also, to PSG.
