When? i never heard that if mbappe was blatantly announcing it. Maybe i was wrong or what? As far as i know that if mbappe has been linked to the real madrid but mbappe never shows his intention to join in the real madrid directly.
The main problem why madrid never try to show its interst due to the non sense price of mbappe. PSG was putting very expensive price to get mbappe. This is also the main problem owned by the club. It was also making other teams were not interesting to sign him.
If mbappe's price would be very affordable and im sure there will by many clubs will be interesting to sign him. This is the main problem owned by him at this moment.
That's why mbappe is willing to leave from the club by himself till the end of his contract. It's caused by mbappe can get signing bonus for his own.
I think mbappe will never leave psg, say out paris saint germain only just to increase the bidding position in order to get a very high salary contract, the same a few years ago a few days before the contract expired and could leave freely without a transfer fee but suddenly signed a new contract with PSG
I don't think he will be persuaded only by money this year. If that were the case, Mbappe would have accepted the astronomical offer from Saudi Arabia at the beginning of the year. The problem is not money, he wants to receive international awards now. He wants the UCL cup and it is unlikely that he will achieve this in PSG. To be honest, I think he will be transferred to Real Madrid.
