It looks like the future of Kylian Mbappe will be decided in January. The star who has a long-running transfer saga with Real Madrid is enjoying a fine season at PSG. Considering the Frenchman’s contract is set to expire in June, Mbappe can start potential contract discussions with clubs in January. Yet, as per the latest reports, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is set to have crunch talks with his star forward about future plans.

With 18 goals in 19 games this season, Kylian Mbappe’s row with Luis Enrique doesn’t seem to have affected his form. Hence, PSG must settle the contract situation of their talisman as soon as possible.

A pundit on El Chiringuito de Jugones recently revealed some interesting information regarding Mbappe’s future. He said (translated by TranslateMom), “I don’t know if it’s out of preference or to tell him what decision he’s made, but he’s (Kylian Mbappe) going to listen to the Khelaifi, 100% sure.” Moreover, the pundit also added that PSG is waiting until the Champions League rounds conclude to talk to the player.

As per the pundit, PSG is convinced that the talks will take place soon. Moreover, he also hinted at Khelaifi’s intentions. He said, “I understand that the Khelaifi will play his cards, that he will make a stratospheric offer to the player again, and that he will make the decision to come to Real Madrid.” Hence, it looks like PSG’s main challenge for extending Kylian Mbappe’s stay remains a doubt with Los Blancos hovering around.

Khelaifi is a big admirer of the Frenchman and has called him the best player in the world previously. The President also stated that he was unaware of Madrid’s statements denying negotiations for Kylian Mbappe. Hence, he has to be careful this time around, as Madrid has set an ultimatum for the Frenchman.

Los Blancos make final Kylian Mbappe offer

Real Madrid are reportedly planning an offer for Kylian Mbappe in January. However, he will only be given 15 days to confirm his decision following the offer. The Spanish club already missed out on Mbappe once and it seems they do not want to waste much time now.

As per reports, Madrid’s alternative to the lethal striker is Erling Haaland. Considering the lack of a high-quality striker in their squad, the Norwegian makes a lot of sense for Madrid. Moreover, Haaland is said to have a release clause that can be triggered by non-English clubs in 2024. Real Madrid certainly will have some crucial decisions to make in January.
