Kylian Mbappe, Paris Saint-Germain's forward, expects Real Madrid to rekindle their interest in him over the next few weeks.
Los Blancos made it clear that they wanted to sign a deal with the French star, but Mbappe's participation at Euro 2020 and Real's ongoing financial woes have led to talk of a move evaporating.
Kylian Mbappe still has one year left on his contract in Paris. With no sign of renewal, he will be free to speak to other clubs at year's end.
Real claim Mbappe is available for free transfer within less than six months. AS reports that Mbappe expects Real to make another bid in the following weeks.
Given the financial impact of the coronavirus on clubs' finances, mega-money deals have always been difficult to negotiate.
PSG is said to have demanded EUR150m (PS128m) for their talisman, even though he has less than 12 months left on his agreement - which Real would struggle to match.
Mbappe has already told the Ligue 1 club that he wants out of the club, so a contract renewal is unlikely. However, it remains to be seen if Los Blancos will pay the money to sign Mbappe now or wait until next season.
According to reports, the 22-year old was offered a contract with PSG, which would increase his salary to EUR37m per year (PS31.5m), while Real can offer only EUR25m per year (PS21.3m).
Mbappe is keen to leave the club, despite the vast difference. It's just a matter of waiting to see if a switch will happen now or in the near future.
According to the report, if Kylian Mbappe is still with the PSG squad against Lille on August 1, they won't entertain any offers. So instead, he will stay at the club until next season.
Real Madrid's top transfer priority for this summer is Kylian Mbappe.
Paris Saint-Germain, the Frenchman's current club, will not allow him to give up his prize asset.
Their Qatari hierarchy may offer Mbappe a huge new contract to keep him in Paris.
However, this proposal would raise Mbappe's wage to the same level as Neymar's, but money may not be sufficient in this situation.
Mbappe believes he can't achieve his goals in the game where it is. Therefore, he feels that he must move on.
He has informed Leonardo, the president Nasser Al Khalaifi, and coach Mauricio Pochettino of his decision. Although relations with Pochettino remain good, it seems that Pochettino's mind is clear.
PSG Transfer Window
In Paris, there has been a lot of transfer activity in the background of late.
PSG knows that Kylian Mbappe is at risk and has been looking into other stars in the world to replace him.
Lionel Messi was the first target.
Although Messi had made contact with the advisors of Argentina, it seems that he is now set to remain in Barcelona.
Cristiano Ronaldo was another name mentioned. However, it seems like the club is waiting for Mbappe's return from summer break before deciding on their next steps.
This situation is currently being resolved. First, however, PSG must balance its books to accommodate Georginio Wijnaldum and Gianluigi Dariorumma, who arrived on a free, but whose salaries have sent the club's wages spiralling.
Mitchel Bakker has already left the door, having joined Bayer Leverkusen. However, there will be many more.
Real Madrid hopes that Mbappe can be allowed through Valdebebas' doors before the LaLiga Santander season begins, or at the very least, by September 2, when is the summer transfer window closed.
Mbappe would like to be the leader of a team, something he can't do at PSG with Neymar about - but at Real Madrid, it is more likely that he will be able to achieve that position.
