In a surprising twist, Real Madrid has decided against pursuing Kylian Mbappe this summer, citing the Paris Saint-Germain forward’s insatiable desire for money as the primary reason, Marca reports.
According to reliable sources, Mbappe’s exorbitant demand of £206 million in order to secure his services has left Los Blancos uninterested in pursuing the talented player.
Mbappe’s future has been clouded with uncertainty as he recently made it clear that he will not be signing a contract extension, which expires in June 2024.
With PSG determined to avoid losing Mbappe on a free transfer next year, the football prodigy has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
However, his staggering £893,000-per-week wages have posed a significant obstacle for potential suitors.
Real Madrid plans to communicate to Mbappe’s agent-mother, Fayza Lamari, that a pay cut will be a necessity if the player intends to join the Bernabeu.
For now, Real Madrid’s strategy is to wait until next summer and approach Mbappe as a free agent.
