It seems like everyone connected with Real Madrid wants the club to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe this summer. The latest person to share this ambition is Los Blancos former goalkeeper Iker Casillas. The former Spain international has urged his former club to get the deal over the line this summer and it loos like it will happen.
Real Madrid are planning to meet with Kylian Mbappe to thrash out a transfer in the next 10 days, according to reports. Mbappe is claimed to have rejected a mind-boggling new contract offer from Paris Saint-Germain. It looks likely the France international will join Real on a free transfer this summer.
Mbappe scored in both legs of the Champions League last-16 tie against Real but PSG ultimately came up short thanks to a Karim Benzema-inspired performance at the Bernabeu on Wednesday. Real have been able to speak to Mbappe since January regarding a pre-contract agreement for the summer.
But, according to Duncan Castles of the Transfer Window podcast, they wanted the match against PSG out of the way first. The La Liga giants will now attempt to set up a meeting with Mbappe this month to agree a deal. Real’s offer will be less than half of PSG’s attempts to keep the player at the Parc des Princes. But Real are confident of securing a deal for the 23-year-old sensation.
It is going to be a huge coup if Real are a ke to secure Mbappe’s signing this summer and completing the transfer will only send a strong signal to every other club across Europe that the Spanish La Liga giants are getting well prepared to be a force to reckon with in Europe. Mbappe is also said to be tempted by the chance to play with his friend, Karim Benzema.
