Despite Real Madrid’s Public Denial, Kylian Mbappe is ‘Closer’ to Joining as No.10 Jersey Awaits

Kylian Mbappe and his ongoing transfer dilemma with Real Madrid have been an unresolved issue throughout this season. Los Blancos formerly announced their stance in the speculations of a potential agreement with the PSG star. Meanwhile, a Spanish journalist is certain of Mbappe’s transfer, as the no. 10 jersey is poised to be his in the upcoming season.

The Monaco starlet maintained a strong interest in joining Los Blancos over the years. It is still around the corner, with no confirmation of his contract extension with PSG. Mbappe has been their priority target for the next summer transfer window. However, Real Madrid’s official statement denied any such negotiations which reflected their steadfast approach to the Frenchman’s transfer.

The journalist’s take on Real Madrid’s stance on Kylian Mbappe

Josep Pedrerol believes that Mbappe is edging closer to Real Madrid following their clear response about his prospective transfer deal. Los Blancos’ public statement clears the air on the complete horizon of the French star’s negotiations, which are expected to occur next transfer window. The Spanish journalist said on El Chiringuito TV, “I congratulate Madrid for this communication. Mbappe is closer to coming now than it was four years ago. You have to do things well.”

PSG is reluctant to part ways with Mbappe without a significant bargain in the transfer window. The Ligue 1 champions are yet to pen down a contract extension with the French talisman. They attempted to exert pressure to offload the striker in Real Madrid by spreading rumors of other potential suitors. Furthermore, Pedrerol believes the Spanish giants can avoid any such extensive demand following their public statement. This will allow them to complete the transfer with a patient approach in the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, the Spanish media painted a vivid picture of Mbappe’s salary in the event of a successful move to Real Madrid. The reports also confirmed the shirt number if he joins Los Blancos amidst some veteran stars who may potentially depart in the 2024 season.

Who will the PSG icon replace in Los Blancos?

El Chiringuito TV provided significant insights regarding Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid. They shared reports that the 24-year-old star’s salary will range around $37 million. The Frenchman will don Luka Modric’s no.10 shirt at the club, as the Croatian seeks to make an exit after an illustrious career.

Modric signed a one-year contract extension with Los Blancos in this transfer window. He won numerous trophies, including 5 Champions League during his tenure with the La Liga giants. It will be the end of an era with such legends, including Toni Kroos, leaving the club in the next summer. Nonetheless, this will usher in a fresh wave with new fortunes for Real Madrid through the highly anticipated transfer of Kylian Mbappe, bolstering their attacking options.
