For Los Blancos, agreeing to a reduced fee with PSG remains the stumbling block to completing the transfer as reports have stated the club is holding out for a reduced transfer fee, given Mbappe’s contract runs out in under 12 months.

On the player’s part, reports from Marca have stated that Mbappe and Real Madrid have agreed to a verbal contract for the 2024 summer.

Real Madrid would have no difficulty bringing forward the contract a year earlier and have made their stance clear as to when they want this saga completed.

Madrid sets timeline for Mbappe

Recent reports from ESPN have stated the Spanish club wants Mbappe’s deal sorted in the first two weeks of August before the new La Liga season starts.

With PSG’s willingness to negotiate and the reports of an independent agent already appointed to facilitate the deal between both clubs, it is believed a timeline is feasible to attain.

Club President Florentino President sees Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior as the new faces of his Real Madrid sporting project, which took a shocking hit with the departure of Karim Benzema.

PSG identifies Mbappe’s replacement

Sports Brief earlier reported PSG have identified a replacement for their unsettled star Mbappe.

The French club want to finalise a deal quickly as Dembele's release clause is set to double from next week. As reported by SPORT.
