It’s not surprising anymore that Kylian Mbappe is the most desired player in the world. But after the summer transfer window, it seems like there is no hope for other teams to acquire him from the Parisians. After his Real Madrid linkups could not come to fruition once again, one of his French teammates recently expressed his disappointment at the World Cup winner not making it to Los Blancos.

Well, do all these expressions hint at the “hundred percent no” by Real Madrid? With the player’s interest in joining the 14-times European champs, the Qatari owners have set Real Madrid a price of  $272 million for his release, which was not pursued by Real Madrid. One person, anyway, seemed to be sad by this.

Real Madrid has established itself to be the best club in Europe. From Alfredo Di Stefano and Cristiano Ronaldo to Zinedine Zidane, everyone had the honor of playing for the club. While coming to Mbappe, his French national teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni was eagerly anticipating him at the club. After his failure to arrive, Tchouaméni feels that his national forward missed out.

He said, “Did I hope Mbappe would come to Madrid? Obviously. The best players have to play here, and he’s one of them. Sadly, it didn’t happen.”

It looks like an age-long wait for the 2018 World Cup winner. After achieving so much in just years, it is quite obvious Mbappe’s club is not ready to let him go.

Tchouaméni himself is considered a top midfielder and valued at $90,260,000. His recent curl from outside the box against Ireland in the 2024 Euro qualifier showed what a thunderbolt player he can be.

Mbappe and his journey were quite effective in France’s run at the 2022 World Cup, reaching the last two on the big stage. However, the 23-year-old failed to score the penalty shootout in the final after being tricked by the Argentine goalkeeper Emi Martinez, which turned out to be decisive.

Both the player’s Champions League started off with a win. Real Madrid’s hard-fought win against Union Berlin gave them important 3 points thanks to Bellingham’s final minutes’ strike. Mbappe himself was involved in gaining and scoring a penalty against PSG’s opener. Although it does seem possible for PSG to convince Mbappe to sign a new contract. The transfer window in January 2024 will give us a clearer idea.
