Real Madrid have already started working on Mbappe’s arrival this summer – report
As the transfer window’s pendulum swings, it unfurls a tapestry of intrigue and possibility.
Real Madrid’s dream of presenting Kylian Mbappe as a Galactico remains intact as the protracted transfer saga once again continues to dominate headlines.
Recent movements with PSG completely ostracizing Mbappe are indicative of advancements taking place behind the scenes.
Mbappe’s image is being taken down from the Parc des Princes in an effort to drive him away from the club.
Real Madrid potentially sees this growing unrest as the perfect time to pounce.
Real Madrid are already working on Mbappe’s arrival
Los Blancos have tailed Mbappe for years now, but the move has always presented endless roadblocks.
This summer, Madrid hope to find a more positive outcome.
Owing to Mbappe’s complete exclusion from the Parisian squad, MARCA has come out to report that Real Madrid have already started working on the World Cup winner’s arrival this summer.
As per previous reports, Fiorentino Perez is willing to propose a €180 million bid for Mbappe to land him once and for all.
The player’s contract expires in 2024, but PSG does not intend to retain him unless he signs a new deal.
With his contract on the cusp of expiry, PSG see this as the last opportunity to cash out on their star man before he departs on a free transfer.
PSG’s insistence on grabbing a fee for the player and Madrid’s desire to bolster their ranks with the French forward implies the drawn-out saga may be entering its climax and could be resolved one way or another this summer.
Real Madrid currently lack a reliable goalscoring presence after Karim Benzema departed for Saudi Arabia, and Mbappe is the man identified to fill that void.
With work already underway to bring him to the club this summer and PSG further cutting ties with Mbappe, a transfer appears to be on the horizon.

Bellingham on his special assist in Girona 0-3 Real Madrid: “Been watching Luka every day”
Real Madrid usurped the top spot in the La Liga standings from arch-rivals FC Barcelona as they defeated Girona 3-0 away at Estadi Montilivi.
It was a fine performance from Carlo Ancelotti’s men against Michel’s side, with the returning Jude Bellingham leading the way for his team.
After being benched against Las Palmas in midweek, the England international returned to the starting XI today and turned in yet another Man of the Match display for Real Madrid.
It all started with Joselu opening the scoring just 15 minutes into the game, with Bellingham assisting the goal with a special, outside-of-the-boot pass from the left side, bringing back memories of Luka Modric doing something similar a few years ago.
Talking about that special pass, Bellingham said: “I’ve been watching Luka every day for months. I just want to be creative. It took the pressure off us at the start.”
On the match and the result, the 20-year-old stated that it was a good day across the board for Real Madrid, as he said: “It was an important win. They were doing very well. We made a statement of intent to La Liga. Three goals, a clean sheet….”
It has been a truly remarkable start to life at Real Madrid for Bellingham and expressing how he feels to play for the Merengues, he exclaimed:
“I feel very good. I have freedom of movement and I’m enjoying football. Whenever I put on this shirt I always try to do my best.”
Apart from assisting Joselu’s opener, Bellingham also got his name on the scoresheet in the second period. Talking about his goal, the wonderkid said:
“It wasn’t a very good finish. I could have scored some more, but the important thing is the victory.”
The strike meant that Bellingham now has seven goals and two assists across all competitions for Real Madrid. Reflecting on his brilliant start, he said:
“It’s a good start, not bad. I would like to continue on this path and I won’t always score or assist, but I will always give my best.”
Bellingham’s celebration has been a huge hit, with kids in school, players from other clubs, and many others mimicking it. When asked how his special celebration originated, he replied:
“I don’t know where I first celebrated. I think it was with Birmingham. It’s an inspiration to see kids doing it in schools. It’s a wonderful thing.”
