Kylian Mbappe aims to avoid a repeat of last year’s transfer saga by setting a deadline to decide whether to remain at Paris Saint-Germain or join Real Madrid. With six months left on his contract, the 25-year-old can speak with other teams about a pre-contract agreement for a Bosman free transfer. Fans and clubs, including Liverpool, are closely watching Mbappe’s career decision, but only he can put an end to the speculation. Mbappe reportedly plans to announce his future before February 14, ahead of the last-16 of the Champions League. Real Madrid and Liverpool have yet to comment on the situation.
He has insisted that no decision has been made yet and has reportedly set a date for his final announcement to put an end to the ongoing saga. According to L’Equipe, the striker plans to reveal his future before the last-16 of the Champions League, with February 14 being the significant date.
Real Madrid and Liverpool are both currently keeping silent, and Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has stated that he will not speak about the French striker out of respect for his former club. President Florentino Perez has vowed not to repeat the situation he faced two years ago, when Los Blancos were waiting for Mbappe’s decision. However, Mbappe ultimately signed a two-year contract with a high salary and signing bonus, disappointing Perez. This time, Perez intends to stay out of the drama until the player has made his decision.
One thing is certain – Mbappe has once again become the center of attention in the soccer world, not for his on-field performance, but for his future plans.
