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.
It's just that what causes Mbappe difficulties is that his agent and his mother want Mbappe to go to a club that appreciates his hard work, while Real Madrid doesn't dare to offer a salary as big as PSG because Real Madrid is a big club so he doesn't need to spend a lot of money just to recruit players because Real Madrid itself has a capable squad, even though it actually needs a pure striker who is hungry for goals like Mbappe, while Real Madrid itself also knows that Mbappe really wants to go to Real Madrid at the end of his contract to support his career, therefore Real Madrid does not pay the same salary as PSG because he already knew that Mbappe wanted to go there.
Yes, it is true that there are other clubs who dare to pay Mbappe handsomely, one of which is the Premier League club which has a lot of financial power, and perhaps Mbapoe could consider this because joining the Premier League is also the same as supporting his career because it is in a competitive league and it could be Liverpool or Manchester United or it could be Manchester City like the rumors circulating now.
