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 very happy with future star Endrick, eagerly awaiting his arrival in 2024 – Romano
Real Madrid’s attacking unit has been crippled by the loss of Karim Benzema earlier in the summer, which was followed by the loss of Vinicius Jr due to injury.
Although Vinicius has returned, there is much left to be desired from the Madrid frontline as we progress through to the season.
Real Madrid, though, are waiting on the arrival of Endrick. The young Brazilian is set to join the Real Madrid squad in the summer of 2024 when he turns 18.
Real Madrid impressed by Endrick
Endrick has already started his preparation for his pending move to Santiago Bernabeu, having performed exceptionally well in his native Brazil this year.
The youngster is constantly working on his game, in order to further improve himself as an attacker. It has left Real Madrid quite happy and eager for his arrival, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist claims that Real Madrid have been keeping close tabs on everything Endrick has been doing, on and off the pitch, at Palmeiras.
And they have received very good reports on the 17-year-old, with the club impressed by how he is putting efforts to improve himself both performance-wise and in other facets.
Despite there being some question marks over his performances, the teenage forward is starting to showcase his potential, having scored five goals in five starts for Palmeiras.
Endrick also learning new languages
Endrick is not only just working on his performance. In fact, the Brazilian is also learning other languages in order to quickly settle into life in Spain.
The youngster can speak Portuguese, but he may have to master Spanish during his time at Santiago Bernabeu.
As mentioned earlier, Endrick can already speak Portuguese, which should go a long way in helping him team up with fellow Brazilians Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.
Even Eder Militao can speak Portuguese, which should make it easier for Endrick to adapt to life in Spain, at least for the next year or so.
