The outcome of Kylian Mbappé's transfer or contract extension is fast approaching.
While an announcement from the striker is expected this Saturday or Sunday, Real Madrid would be much less optimistic than a few days ago regarding an arrival.
According to the Daily Mail, President Florentino Pérez even spoke to his locker room on Friday evening after the draw against Betis Sevilla (0-0) to explain that the striker would not ultimately be recruited.
The information was revealed by Guillem Balague, a Spanish journalist working notably for CBS and the BBC.
