Real Madrid made a third attempt on Tuesday afternoon to release Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain. marca and Fabrizio Romano report that the Spanish top club has made an offer of no less than two hundred million euros for the attacker-cum-French international around noon, but that the Parisians have not even responded. Mbappe’s contract, who turns 23 in December, with PSG will expire in ten months.

Real Madrid made two bids earlier this month: a first offer of 160 million euros and a second offer of 170 million euros plus an amount of 10 million euros in bonuses. However, both offers were inadequate in PSG’s view. However, Real Madrid refused to offer more and designated the deadline first on Sunday evening at 6 p.m. and then at 6 p.m. on Monday. PSG kept quiet, however, and the third and final attempt was not answered either. A summer transfer is therefore out of the question.

French and Spanish media assumed on Monday that PSG was hoping behind the scenes for a bid of at least two hundred million euros for Mbappé. Real Madrid actually offered that amount on the final day of the transfer market, but for unclear reasons, technical director Leonardo did not answer the proposal. In any case, the Parc des Princes is convinced that there is a good chance of a contract extension with Mbappe, although the attacker insisted on leaving for Real Madrid this summer and otherwise next summer, if he is free on a transfer.

Despite the transfer soap, Mbappé ‘just’ came into action for Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday in the won league match against Stade de Reims (0-2). Mbappe also scored two goals for PSG in that match, but those are in principle not his last goals for PSG. les Parisiens, been. Mbappe, who is currently preparing for the World Cup qualifying phase with the France national team, has 175 official matches for the club, in which he scored 135 times and provided 63 assists.

Le Parisien reports that Mbappe mainly wants to go to Real Madrid for sporting reasons. If he had accepted PSG’s latest contract offer, he could have earned as much as €45 million a year until the summer of 2024. Real Madrid cannot afford such a salary. The Spanish top club can come up with a construction whereby a sign premium is paid. From 1 January, football players whose contracts expire, are allowed to sit around the table with other clubs.
