The grievances between superstar Mbappe and super-rich Real Madrid are very similar to the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Mbappe toyed with the Real Madrid club and fans again and again until any rumors between him and Real Madrid became tiresome. . In the early morning of February 4th, Beijing time, French media once again broke the news that Mbappe will join Real Madrid.
Mbappe's contract with Paris Saint-Germain will expire on June 30, and he can then join Real Madrid on a free transfer. The French media said with certainty: "Mbappe has chosen Real Madrid. There is no doubt about his future. He will leave Paris Saint-Germain and join the biggest club in the world."
Although the deal has not been finalized and Mbappe and Real Madrid have not yet negotiated a contract, according to French media reports, Paris Saint-Germain believes that it is inevitable for Mbappe to leave and join Real Madrid on a free transfer. At the same time, Real Madrid is also full of optimism about Mbappe's joining, and they are already preparing for a super contract.
Mbappe's current annual salary in Paris is about 72 million euros. Paris once offered him a salary increase and a contract extension, but he was rejected. After arriving at Real Madrid, Mbappe's annual salary is only about 36 million euros, which is equivalent to a 50% discount on the current annual salary. If Mbappé decides to join Real Madrid this summer after his contract expires, it will mean giving up about 100 million euros in bonuses in Paris.
If Mbappé can really join Real Madrid, his personal commercial value will definitely be much greater than when he was in Paris. If Mbappe performs well at Real Madrid, his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year are certainly much greater than when he was at Paris Saint-Germain. Real Madrid has been very restrained in recruiting players in recent years. In fact, they are preparing for a super operation. They even have the idea of introducing Haaland and Mbappe at the same time this summer. The idea of building a team of a super giant is very attractive to Mbappe. .
Last summer, Mbappe had an issue with Paris due to contract renewal issues. He was excluded from the pre-season warm-up match list and could only stay in Paris to train alone. In the first round of Ligue 1 this season, Mbappe was excluded from the match list by new coach Enrique. Paris could only draw 0-0 with Lorient, who is currently at the bottom of Ligue 1.
Paris Saint-Germain found that they couldn't do without Mbappe, so they "unfrozen" him in the second round of Ligue 1. He came off the bench and scored a goal, and Paris Saint-Germain drew 1-1 with another underdog Toulouse. Currently in the Ligue 1 scorer list, Mbappe is far ahead with 20 goals, while second-ranked Monaco forward Ben Yedder only scored 10 goals. For Mbappe, it is really boring to continue to stay in Ligue 1.
In order to ease the relationship with Mbappe, Enrique once said that "Mr. Mbappe" can play the position he wants most (left winger), and even said that he can play any position he wants. However, Mbappe has not renewed his contract with Paris. The expiration date of his contract is getting closer and closer. After entering 2024, he can negotiate terms with his future club.
Enrique has recently stopped coddling Mbappe and insists on letting him play the center position he doesn't like much. After more than half a season of running-in, the strikers Dembele, Li Gangren, Muani, Ramos, Barcola and others introduced by Paris this season have begun to integrate into the team. Enrique seems to be able to start to look forward to playing without Mu The days of Bappé.
Enrique played for Real Madrid and Barcelona during his player days, served as Barcelona captain, and was also Barcelona's meritorious coach. He has always regarded himself as "Real Madrid's enemy". If Mbappe can really join Real Madrid, "Real Madrid's enemy" Enrique can also be regarded as a great assist for Real Madrid.
