Obviously, nothing is clear at the moment, but the transfer window is about to open and if Mbappe doesn't move to Real Madrid immediately, it may become clear that other teams are competing for him and Real Madrid won't like that very much, because they won't tolerate a second transfer failure.
You can see it either way. I stand by my argument that Mbappe will go to Real Madrid. Everything else would be a surprise and going by that standard, discussions don't lead to anything.
