Mbappe to Real Madrid? La Liga president weighs in on transfer odds.

Kylian Mbappe’s contract with PSG expires this summer, making him a free agent on July 1st.

While top clubs worldwide chase him, Real Madrid has been the persistent frontrunner for years.

La Liga president, Javier Tebas, believes the chances of Mbappe joining Real Madrid are “high,” citing the player’s age and PSG’s seeming lack of confidence in his renewal. 

However, Tebas acknowledges Real Madrid already has stars like Vinicius Jr. and the recent signing of Jude Bellingham.

Ultimately, he believes the decision rests with Mbappe’s desire to play for Madrid, estimating there’s a “more than 50%” chance he joins.

Mbappe’s camp denies finalizing a decision, and he remains committed to informing PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi first.

Financially, PSG are prepared for his free agency, having a legal agreement with Mbappe for a potential €80m fee if he leaves without a transfer sum.

This complex agreement accounts for various factors and Mbappe’s past commitment to the club.
