There has been a lot of drama surrounding the future of Kylian Mbappe. Fans have been eager to see what’s next for the French striker despite constant back and forth between PSG and Real Madrid. While there is no doubt about Los Blancos’ interest in Kylian Mbappe, the team on some occasions has downplayed their desire to make a move for the player. The recent transfer window saw Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti snub Mbappe, claiming his team will not be signing any new players this season. However, it seems like the craze around Mbappe in Madrid has not dissipated.
According to recent reports, Real Madrid still has a lot of interest in securing the services of Kylian Mbappe. While the team is willing to take a wait-and-watch approach surrounding the situation, one of the Los Blancos board members believes the Frenchman will be a Madridista in 2024.

According to reports, Jose Manuel Otero, a Real Madrid board member, believes the club will sign the Frenchman in 2024. There have been a lot of rumours surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s future.

However, this could be a big moment for all the parties involved. If Madrid fails to land Mbappe this time around, the team might just turn their head away from the player after being burned too many times. Los Blancos have been long-time admirers of the Frenchman, but have failed to land him for different reasons in the past few seasons.
Earlier this summer, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti had closed down the speculations surrounding Mbappe, claiming that his squad was close for the season.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti gave surprising news to the club fans when he snubbed Kylian Mbappe in the summer transfer window. When the manager was asked about the possibility of signing Mbappe this season, Ancelotti made it clear that his team would not be making any new signings this season following some key arrivals.
“No, I rule it out 100%. I think our squad is closed, and our players are thinking about our season. Someone may change their mind, but I am not afraid of that.”
While Real Madrid is surely looking to secure the services of the Frenchman for a free, things will not be as easy as one would imagine. PSG is willing to do everything in its power to ensure Mbappe does not walk out as a free agent. The team is hoping that they can persuade the player to sign a contract extension with a release clause to leave the club in 2024.
