Real Madrid targets Kylian Mbappé

For several months now, media outlets following the current events of Real Madrid have pointed out that Kylian Mbappé is the main goal of the club. They all agree that it is absolutely essential for the player to join the Chamartín team next summer without renewing his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (which ends in June 2022).

With this in mind, journalists who followed last night's Coupe de la Ligue match between Paris Saint-Germain and Saint-Étienne (which ended with a resounding 6-1 in favor of the home team) took the opportunity to question the player about this matter and shed some light on his uncertain future.

"I'm ready to play football right now. It's January and it's the beginning of the final sprint for the title. I don't think it's time to talk about other issues. The club is calm and at peace, everyone is moving in the same direction. Talking about things off the field is not very realistic or beneficial for the team," the forward responded, clearly aiming to keep all doors open.

According to reports, PSG's plan is to offer Mbappé a contract extension that would match Neymar's salary (he could earn €216 million over six years). The player knows that he cannot earn such an amount at Real Madrid, but he also knows that the sacrifice of giving up that sum would be compensated by the titles and prestige he could gain during his time at the Santiago Bernabéu. This is a situation to keep an eye on.
