Real Madrid sources have denied having set a deadline by which Kylian Mbappé (25) must have agreed to join the La Liga side, as per a report from L’Équipe.
As reported by The Athletic, in order to avoid a repeat of the saga back in 2022, which ultimately saw Mbappé renew his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid’s bid to sign the France captain this time was time-limited. The publication reported that Mbappé must respond by the 15th January.
However, that date has now passed and no decision has been made, with Mbappé’s entourage denying an agreement with Real Madrid and also affirming that their decision would not be rushed.
Real Madrid’s final bid to sign Mbappé
“There is no agreement regarding Kylian’s future, just as there aren’t any discussions on this subject. In any case, no kind of influence can dictate the timing of Kylian’s discussions, thoughts or his decision,” his entourage told RMC Sport.
Real Madrid have now denied the existence of a time-limited offer. “It would be suicidal when we are free to negotiate and come to an agreement with him at the end of the season,” club sources told L’Équipe. However, Los Blancos have nonetheless indicated that they would like Mbappé’s future to be resolved soon.
However, it could be last chance saloon for Mbappé to join Real Madrid. This will be the last time that the La Liga side will attempt to sign the France captain, having previously failed in their bid in 2022.
