Real Madrid prepared to spend up to €130 million on French superstar

As the new season draws nearer, the Kylian Mbappe saga continues to drag on, with no concrete decisions on where he will play for the 2023/24 campaign.

The Frenchman’s future still hangs in the balance, as neither his entourage nor Real Madrid have made any substantial approaches for the player.

New reports from Marca corroborate previous news which stated that Real Madrid now hold all the power in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain, but are waiting for Mbappe to make the first move.

The Spanish outlet claims that one call from Mbappe to Madrid could massively tilt the scales and speed up proceedings.

The World Cup-winner clearly seems to have the Santiago Bernabeu in his sights, but the Galacticos will reportedly not go berserk in their attempts to sign him.

They will not jeopardize their financial stability over one player, given the struggles fellow La Liga clubs have been facing ever since the COVID-19 pandemic massively offset the books.

PSG currently have a very high price tag on Mbappe, but given that he player only has one year left on his contract, the Ligue 1 club do not have much in the way of bargaining power.

The Frenchman could easily leave on a free transfer after his contract is up in the summer of 2024, so PSG are seeking to get as much money for him as possible before that happens.

Real Madrid are reportedly willing to splurge up to 130 million euros for him, which is a very good deal for PSG at this stage.

Los Blancos have not made any substantial approach for the player at the moment, leaving him to sort out what he wants, but there is still very little clarity on what he wants, as Mbappe continues to string PSG along in this seemingly endless saga.
