Real Madrid could make an offer for Kylian Mbappe after August 15 – report
Real Madrid’s desire to add Kylian Mbappe to their already fabled ranks has not faded by any means.
Los Blancos have been tailing the French World Cup winner for years now, but it appears this summer the partnership may finally materialize.
Real Madrid ready to make an offer soon?
Mbappe’s current deal with PSG is set to expire in 2024, and the Ligue 1 champions and with the Frenchman unwilling to extend his contract, the Parisians are pushing for his exit.
According to Le Parisien Real Madrid, aware of the situation, could make an offer after August 15 for Kylian Mbappé.
After losing out on Karim Benzema and the club’s growing need for a striker that can finish chances, with Mbappe on their radars.
If the offer is deemed suitable by PSG’s hierarchy, the situation will unblock instantly and Mbappe will be able to fulfill his long-desired dream of donning the Merengues’ jersey.
Although Mbappe has shown persistence to see out his contract at PSG, the report argues that he continues to dream of Real Madrid. He will not waste any opportunity to join forces with the Los Blancos, even if the move may be premature.
Mbappe and PSG’s relationship beyond repair
Mbappe has invariably been PSG’s poster boy since joining them from AS Monaco.
But following his worsening situation with the club, he has since then been sidelined not only on the club’s media channels; but also forced to train with the ‘undesirables’, who currently do not possess a place in the squad until their future is resolved.
The player will continue training with the alienated figures of the club, while he awaits a conclusion to the saga.
As per the report, Mbappe has unsurprisingly not taken his exclusion from the squad lightly, with both parties appearing to be at a crossroads.
Madrid have not made any strides as of yet, but if the report is to be believed, the situation may take a drastic U-turn.

Real Madrid believe recent events vs Villarreal and Roma were necessary to unite dressing room
As is the case always, there is a lot of noise surrounding Real Madrid. The Merengues continue to wage war against FC Barcelona over the Negreira case while continuing to battle the refereeing system in La Liga.
Performances on the pitch have not met the level of expectations and there is constant scrutiny on the team and the club as a whole.
Not a coincidence
Now, according to Jose Felix Diaz of AS, Real Madrid do not view recent events as isolated incidents. At Valdebebas, the club’s leadership believes that what has happened since the start of La Liga points to something more than a series of coincidences.
In their view, the events suggest a deliberate pattern, with the four-match suspension handed to Vinícius Jr. on Wednesday representing the culmination of what they perceive as a series of provocations.
Relations between Real Madrid and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have been strained for some time, but club officials believe the latest developments go further than previous disagreements.
Their view is that what has happened “has not been accidental”, although this is a reflection of the club’s position rather than an established fact.
Vinicius suspension intensifies the dispute
Real Madrid see the four-match ban imposed on Vinicius as a provocation, both because of its length and, above all, because of the timing of its announcement. The decision was communicated less than two hours before kick-off against Roma.
The RFEF’s disciplinary decisions are usually published in the early afternoon. However, the complexity of the Vinicius case coupled with some other events delayed the publication of all the rulings, not just the one concerning the Brazilian’s red card.
Nevertheless, the timing has reinforced Real Madrid’s existing concerns about their relationship with the governing body.
Mourinho becomes the club’s public voice
The latest disagreement comes after tentative efforts to open a dialogue, which have so far failed to produce meaningful progress. Relations between the two sides appear more distant than ever.
One significant difference this time is that Jose Mourinho has become the principal spokesperson for Real Madrid’s position. The Portuguese coach is prepared to communicate the club’s views directly and without diplomatic restraint.
Mourinho represents the club’s thinking and shares its concerns. His personality and direct communication style align with the message Real Madrid want to convey.
Comeback in Rome could prove a turning point
Despite the growing tension off the pitch, Real Madrid believe their recent performances could have a positive impact within the squad.
The club consider the events of Saturday and the comeback against Roma on Wednesday to have been particularly important.
There is a strong belief at Valdebebas that the team needed moments of adversity and a comeback of that magnitude to achieve greater unity within the dressing room.
The Champions League battle in Rome is therefore viewed as more than just another result. Internally, the conviction is that the experience could help strengthen the team’s collective spirit and bring the players together at a crucial stage of the season.
