Real Madrid won’t move for Mbappe until PSG put a price on him – report
It is clear that Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain no longer see eye to eye. The French star has been involved in an open feud with the club over the past few days surrounding his immediate future, and it does not look likely that the two parties can work a compromise.
Last week, the youngster announced his decision to leave PSG at the end of next season. The Ligue 1 giants, understandably infuriated, took the decision to sell him this summer to recoup some money from his departure. After all, he will be a free agent in 2024.
In a recent interview, the player stated that he wished to play one more season in Ligue 1 before leaving the league. The conflict between the two parties in France has also resulted in Real Madrid stalling their talks to gain clarity on the situation.
According to reports from Jose Felix Diaz via Remontada Blanca, Los Blancos are not going to move for Mbappé until PSG and the player reach an agreement. They wish to see a fixed price tag against his name.
As it stands, it appears that the scale will tilt towards the World Cup winner’s departure. It is the only option PSG have on their table to avoid a collapse both economically and in terms of sporting quality.
The Merengues are willing to go up to €200 million for the prodigy this summer, for they see him as the ideal replacement to fill the void left by Karim Benzema. And, it appears that sum would appease the French party.
The 24-year-old scored 29 goals and provided five assists in 34 Ligue 1 games for PSG last season and is rightfully considered one of the best in the business. With Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo potentially flanking him next season, Mbappe could soar to even greater heights at Real Madrid.
However, the Merengues will not make a move until Mbappe and PSG reach an agreement over his future and a price tag is slapped on him.
Aurelien Tchouameni has had an exciting start to his career at Real Madrid. Since joining the club for almost €80 million last summer, the young Frenchman has now become a pivotal figure in Real Madrid’s midfield unit.
However, prior to his move to Santiago Bernabeu, the midfielder was closely linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
In a recent interview, Tchouameni opened up on his links to PSG but revealed his decision to join Real Madrid.

Talking about speculations linking him to PSG, Tchouameni said (h/t Madrid Zone), “PSG? Frankly, I thought about it. It’s a very big European club, we want the French clubs to succeed.”
“But honestly, when Real Madrid calls you, it’s very complicated to say no,” Tchouameni added.
The midfielder was linked with a move to PSG during his time at AS Monaco. Les Parisiens wanted to sign the youngster as part of their plans to reinforce the midfield unit.
Tchouameni, though, ended up opting for a move to Real Madrid, which turned out to be a prudent decision from the midfielder’s end.
Tchouameni’s career at Real Madrid
Aurelien Tchouameni made a total of 50 competitive appearances during his maiden season at Real Madrid.
Although the Frenchman was not entirely a first-team regular in Carlo Ancelotti’s setup, his stature in the team is expected to grow in the coming years.
Especially as Toni Kroos and Luka Modric move on at the end of the season, there is scope for Tchouameni to become a first-team regular in the Real Madrid midfield in the years to come.
The former AS Monaco starlet has already played a crucial role in the starting eleven so far this season and it is only going to continue as the season progresses.
