Real Madrid's perspective has altered a lot with regards to Kylian Mbappe. The team from the Spanish capital was willing to invest a heavy sum in the past, but the forward decided to stay put at Paris Saint-Germain.
In a couple of weeks, though, the ball will be in Madrid's court since the player will be allowed to sign a pre-contract agreement with any team outside of his country, and this time, Madrid have made a decision that yes they will go for Mbappe next year, but without paying a fee, reports AS.
Why are Real Madrid being so quiet about it?
Mbappe is the epicentre of the media attention, which is the primary reason why Real Madrid are being so quiet about this deal.
Los Blancos plan to initiate discussions with Mbappein in January, with the club set to present its contractual proposal to the player, his mother, and their entourage on January 1.
However, mindful of past events in 2022, Real Madrid aim to secure a conclusive decision from Mbappe before the looming deadline of January 15.
The internal understanding is that this timeframe provides sufficient time for Mbappe to determine whether he wishes to join Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappe will have to make a decision by January 15.
This time, Madrid will not budge
Real Madrid have learned from their mistakes and this time, they would not mind losing out on Mbappe if he does not show any interest, especially after seeing the progression of Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo.
Right now, Mbappe and Erling Haaland lead the global football valuation charts at a staggering €180 million each, showcasing their exceptional worth. However, the landscape shifts significantly with the emergence of Vinicius and Bellingham, valued at €150 million.
As a result, while the allure of Mbappe's exceptional talent remains undeniable, the club now views the prospect of his signing not as an urgent or vital necessity, but rather as an opportunity to elevate the squad's quality.
