The Kylian Mbappe-Real Madrid saga seems to have reached a bottomless pit. With the Frenchman’s PSG contract set to expire at the end of the season, he is free to leave Parc des Princes. Although the decision is yet to be made on his future, La Liga President Javier Tebas claims there’s a ‘high probability‘ that the lethal goalscorer will step on the pitch in Real Madrid’s white jersey next season. 

The shocking revelation comes via revered transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. According to the viral news source, Javier Tebas has fully expressed his confidence in Real Madrid signing Kylian Mbappe. As per Romano, the Spanish League chief said, “There is a high probability that Mbappé will arrive at Real Madrid. More than 50%.” Yet Tebas insists, in the end, it would be Los Blancos’ call to sign the 25-year-old. “It’s a personal opinion… it depends on Real Madrid, they will decide,” he concluded. 

Earlier, reports said that Mbappe already had a pre-agreement with Florentino Perez and Co. to arrive in Spain during the summer transfer window. Likewise, a deadline is also set by PSG’s No. 7 himself to decide his future. Interestingly, Real Madrid isn’t alone, with EPL sides Liverpool and Arsenal also interested in signing the former Monaco man.

However, not just the Gunners, but even the Reds might not be able to sign Kylian Mbappe, with PSG reportedly looking to bring Jurgen Klopp to Paris to make the striker stay put. Otherwise, if he still doesn’t agree to commit his future, then PSG might play its trump card.
