Real Madrid unwilling to meet PSG’s €250 million demands for Kylian Mbappe – report
According to reports from Carlos Capio, PSG expect €250 million for Kylian Mbappe this summer but Real Madrid are unwilling to meet that figure which will complicate the youngster’s move.
The French setup have excluded the star winger from their pre-season tour of Asia, leaving him to train with the club’s outcasts in Paris.
The Ligue 1 champions hope to pressurise Mbappe through the aforementioned move, although the player appears calm about his situation.
Real Madrid, for their part, have maintained a low profile in their pursuit of their dream target this summer.
After the heartbreaks they have suffered in the past with Mbappe, they hope for the player or his current employers to make the first move in negotiations.
PSG want a world-record fee for Mbappe
On that front, reports earlier this week brought optimism stating that Mbappe’s move to Santiago Bernabeu was close, adding that his transfer would go down as the most expensive move in the world of football, exceeding Neymar Jr’s €222 million from Barcelona to PSG.
And now MARCA is stating that PSG are demanding a sum of €250 million for their contract rebel, with the same already having been communicated to Real Madrid via the forward’s mother and agent Fayza Lamari.
However, Real Madrid are unwilling to match that figure leading to uncertainty once again looming over his potential move.
PSG have economically lucrative offers on the table from Saudi Arabia but the player has refused to negotiate with them.
It is thus likely that Real Madrid take Mbappe’s transfer saga to the deadline day of the ongoing summer transfer window.
The pressure on PSG to sell the prodigy increases with every passing day, especially given that he will be a free agent next summer.
Dragging talks to the last minute could thus favour the Merengues from an economic standpoint and force the Ligue 1 champions to sell him for a budget price.
In 34 Ligue 1 appearances last season, the 24-year-old scored 29 goals and provided five assists. Further, he created 17 big chances and averaged 1.6 key passes per game.
Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
