According to AS, Real Madrid is prepared to make a final offer for Kylian Mbappe in January, but they will only give him until the 15th of the month to decide on his future. Mbappe’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expires in the summer, allowing him to negotiate with Los Blancos. Madrid has previously missed out on signing Mbappe and is determined not to let it happen again. However, if Mbappe does not agree to a deal by the club’s deadline, Madrid will shift their focus to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.

Mbappe has been a crucial player for PSG, scoring 15 goals in 13 Ligue 1 appearances this season. While PSG is eager to retain Mbappe, they have not yet reached an agreement on a new contract. The next course of action for Mbappe remаins uncertain, but Madrid appears ready to swiftly move on if he does not join them at the Santiago Bernabeu. Haaland, on the other hand, is reported to have a release clause in his Manchester City contract that can be activated by non-English clubs in 2024.

In recent news, Haaland has broken Mbappe’s record to become the youngest player to score 40 goals in the UEFA Champions League at the age of 23 years and 130 days. He also achieved this milestone in the fewest number of games, only needing 35 appearances in Europe’s premier club competition.

As the weeks progress, Mbappe’s future may become clearer. Starting from January 1st, the French international will be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with other clubs if he has not renewed with PSG. Madrid has long considered Mbappe their main target, but he will need to make a prompt decision on his future if he intends to join the likes of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior in the Spanish capital.
