Months After 100% No, Kylian Mbappe Chooses Silence on Real Madrid Future With a Rare Gesture

Most clubs would have loved to sign Kylian Mbappe when he was breaking through at Monaco. Now, the forward has become one of the most sought-after players, and his likely destination is Real Madrid. The player’s recent gesture, however, has sparked doubts about his future.

Paris Saint Germain was adamant in their efforts to keep the 24-year-old. But player interest always plays a key role. So, where does Mbappe stand on his desire to sign for Real Madrid?

Mbappe hints about his future with silence

After his back-to-back goal-scoring streak, Mbappe attended yesterday’s Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris as one of the favorites along with Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland. On the biggest night of soccer accolades, Mbappe was asked by a Spanish journalist if he was joining Real Madrid in 2024. The forward, however, chose to remain silent and smirked while raising his eyebrows.

The World Cup runner-up came 3rd in the Ballon d’Or ranking after Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland. While walking out of the ceremony, Mbappe just nodded his head vertically with a smile. Notably, Mbappe has already reserved a house in Madrid as per reports.

The Mbappe-Madrid saga has long been running, with the French forward coming close to a move to the Bernabeu on two occasions in the last few seasons. However, Mbappe faced a harsh rejection from Los Blancos during this window after PSG put a humongous price tag on the player, who is running down the last year of his contract.

Kylian Mbappe receives no love from Real Madrid

Los Blancos fans have for long remained excited about the Frenchman’s arrival at the club. But in August, Real Madrid chose to drop out for that particular window as PSG set a whopping $272 million price tag on the French striker.

Having already made a big-money move for Jude Bellingham, who is currently on top of La Liga’s scoring charts, Carlo Ancelotti didn’t hesitate to laugh the price off. There are, however, still chances that Real Madrid can come back from Mbppae in the January window. Notably, the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner has not yet extended his contract at Parc de Princes. And as things stand, he could leave PSG as a free agent once his contract expires next year.
