The Real Madrid- Kylian Mbappe saga has to be one of the most talked about transfer sagas in the soccer world. While everyone was almost sure that Mbappe would finally sign for the Los Blancos this year, the French winger extending his stay at his current club, Paris Saint Germain. Even Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti also confirmed that the Spanish giants won’t be making any more signings this summer window. In the meantime, the French national team coach Didier Deschamps came out to speak about the player’s standoff with the club.
Deschamps drew parallels between Mbappe’s situation with PSG and compared it with the French National Soccer Team. It became a tough time for the sensational World Cup winner, who now looks to extend his contract at PSG. Things are going haywire in France, while Deschamps remarked on the saga.

In a recent interview, Deschamps threw some light on the situation. According to the French Football Weekly, Deschamps said, “The situation was complicated, it normalized. So much the better. Everyone wins. I chatted with him. It’s very good for the France team of course, but also for the club and for him.”
For starters, Mbappe always supported Real Madrid at a young age and wanted to move. With his contract expiring soon at PSG, he wasn’t showing interest in an extension for a while. Meanwhile, the club looked keen to sell him for a huge amount. But nothing fruitful has happened so far in it.
If the player stays and the club fails to negotiate a new deal, it would mean that PSG would lose their most-prized possession for free next summer. Obviously, no soccer club in the world would like it! He would certainly fetch at least $150 million if they put him out for sale. But, putting aside the rumors, Ancelotti decided to call it quits with the Mbappe transfer this year.

In a recent interview, he explained the situation of Real Madrid, stating the complications related to the deal. Ancelotti mentioned, “We will not sign any other player, it’s 100% over. Our squad has been closed and so it’s finished,” when asked about signing any more players.
Thus, it would be crucial for the player to negotiate a deal with his monstrous wages at PSG. No team with a proper wage structure could negotiate a deal and offer the contract he desires. Yet, all is not lost.

Is Real Madrid playing the waiting game?
The Spanish club lost Karim Benzema to Al-Ittihad and wanted a striker to replace him in the current transfer window. The striker became an integral part of how Madrid played the game. With Mbappe, they could perfectly replace him to lead the line.
But now, the club must spend to get the striker in, and with Madrid, never say never. For years, the club president, Florentino Perez, developed the knack of being ruthless and successful in the transfer market.
