However, Kylian Mbappe is not the only well-known player Real Madrid is interested in signing this summer. They are still working to bring him to the club.
The 24-year-old Mbappe has informed Paris Saint-Germain that he intends to remain at the Parc des Princes for the 2023–2024 season but will not extend his contract, which is set to expire in 2024.
Nasser Al-Khelafi has given the Frenchman the choice to sign a new contract or have this window sold as a result. Real Madrid, who have been Mbappe’s longtime admirers, has been made aware of the delicate situation with the forward.
The loss of Karim Benzema to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad has further fuelled speculation of Mbappe joining Real Madrid as Los Blancos need a reliable goal-scorer to lead the line; it’s unlikely that loan signing Joselu will be that man.
