It is certain that Real Madrid will not buy Mbappe in the winter transfer market or this January because Mbappe at the end of the season will be a free transfer because his contract with PSG expires at the end of this season. if buy in January, have to spend money on the transfer fee which is certainly a large value. if wait until the end of the season, it is certainly a free transfer without the need to pay a transfer fee again.
Real Madrid are very smart in taking advantage of this moment for the players they like because on the one hand, Mbappe also really wants to be at Real Madrid in order to make a more stable career before he is really old. But currently PSG itself is also busy looking for a more suitable replacement for Mbappe's position next season because in the French League only PSG is often seen bringing in good players for its squad. Meanwhile, other teams do not have the ability to do this so they often always lose when facing PSG in Ligue1.
I feel like Mbappe will have some trouble going to Real Madrid, I have been saying this for a while and people do not believe me but you will see. Mbappe wants to go there, that is certain and we all agree, but Real knows this as well so they will not offer him as much as what other clubs could offer.
We are going to see teams offer much more to him than what Real Madrid offers him, which could confuse him and by chance he may end up accepting offer from some other team as well. If Real Madrid offers way too little, there is a possibility that some other team could swoop in and take him. Plus, not like Real Madrid really "needs" him, they could find any decent striker and be fine, they are already quite good team at the moment anyway.
