Kylian Mbappé marks the times with Madrid and PSG

Regarding the future of Kylian Mbappé, there is something that Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain do agree on: a few days before the end of their respective Leagues, both believe that they still have options for the Frenchman to wear his shirt the season that comes.

Sources familiar with the negotiation close to both teams agree, each on their own, in ensuring that the footballer has not yet signed anything that definitively commits him to either of them.

And they await the announcement for the Sunday broadcast of the

program , according to information this Thursday night by

.

From Paris, they stress that the player has not informed them that he will leave the club after June 30.

In fact, they point out that this same Tuesday, PSG representatives met again with members of the footballer's family, and continued discussing options to extend the bond.

This Thursday night they considered the talks open.

The situation – he does not sign and continues to speak with PSG – is viewed with some suspicion in the Madrid offices, where they listened with bewilderment to the striker's words on Sunday at the French players' union awards: "I can't say anything about my future, but you will know very soon, it is practically decided.

This is not the best time to tell.

Three years ago I was wrong talking about this topic at this gala, ”he said.

In 2019, the signals he sent from that act seemed clearer to Madrid: "I could be happy in Paris, but perhaps in another place too, with a new project," he said.

Precisely three years ago is when the white club dates the beginning of Mbappé's resistance to extending his contract with PSG.

While he was rejecting the increasing offers from the Parisian club, he sent to Madrid that he would surely join them when his contract expired on June 30.

The messages were so clear that last summer Florentino Pérez sent Nasser Al Khelaifi two offers to buy the footballer, which reached 200 million euros.

PSG did not even lend themselves to opening talks.

Mbappé continued in Paris, but since September Madrid has the contracts ready waiting for the Frenchman to sign, according to sources close to the negotiation.

By then, several of his teammates were convinced when talking to their circles of confidence that Mbappé would leave the club at the end of the season.

It was also a widespread feeling in the entity itself, which began to turn slightly when Nasser Al Khelaifi, the club's Qatari president, decided to personally take care of the conversations with the footballer and those around him.

In these conditions, the Frenchman arrived at the Santiago Bernabéu to play the second leg of the Champions League round of 16.

Al Khelaifi proposed a new formula that consisted of extending the bond one more season, until the World Cup in Qatar, or even two, but not beyond.

In the same way that he never considered accepting the 200 million from Madrid in the summer, he could not conceive of letting Mbappé go without presenting more proposals, each one more succulent, and without launching considerable pressure from high-level politicians, starting with Emmanuel Macron, the President of the Republic.

A few weeks ago, various sources with access to the Parisian dressing room began to report a shift in the feelings of their teammates about Mbappé's future: they saw his permanence closer.

Meanwhile, at Real Madrid they have maintained the confidence that the Frenchman would honor what they considered his word and, after three years of trying in Paris, would hold out a little longer and sign the contracts.

From the beginning, they know that they cannot compete with PSG's financial offers, but they trust the Frenchman's old public will to play at home at the Bernabéu.

"It has never been for money," say club sources, who nevertheless fear the effect of other "pressures."

To begin with, tomorrow the one at the Parc des Princes in the last League game, against Metz, for which the club no longer has any tickets left.
