Real Madrid Reportedly Having Second Thoughts on Mbappé

Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid in 2024 was considered a done deal by many, but the Spanish press now suggests that the tide is turning.

The Spanish newspaper AS provides an update on the Kylian Mbappé saga, and according to the publication, in Madrid, the French superstar’s stock is decreasing.

Could it be that Mbappé’s recent subpar performances and numerous past refusals have irked the Real Madrid hierarchy? AS reports that Erling Haaland is making a compelling case as the primary target for the club instead of Mbappé.

One factor could be concerns about Mbappé’s high-profile off-field life, which has come into focus recently, as highlighted by Daniel Riolo’s comments. Additionally, Haaland’s quieter personality and his impressive goal-scoring record are factors being considered in this shift.

However, there is a significant wrinkle in this situation. Mbappé’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire in just a year, whereas Haaland has a contract with Manchester City that runs until 2027. This contractual disparity might play a decisive role in the final decision-making process for Real Madrid.
