Real Madrid has long been interested in signing Kylian Mbappe. The ultimate say on the Frenchman’s transfer was to be made by the “royal.”.

Real Madrid have been after the football player for a long time. The Spanish media started to report that the subject was already resolved.

Real Madrid ultimately gave up on trying to get Kylian Mbappe. Even if the Frenchman decides not to extend his contract with PSG, he does not intend to hire him, according to Jesus Gallego on the radio show “SER”.

The journalist claims that the “Royal’s” decision was made for three reasons. The first one is monetary. Actual projections indicate that Mbappe wants to make at least 20 million euros annually. Lucrative bonuses for signing a contract or subsequently extending one must also be included. Jude Bellingham, whose star shined at the start of this season, receives “only” EUR 9 million, in contrast.

Gallego further asserts that signing Mbappe would go against Real Madrid’s present philosophy. At age 26, the Frenchman might wind up in Madrid. For years, the Royals have prioritized developing players. Many of them were teens when they signed contracts with Real.

The third factor is the environment around Mbappe’s decision to stay with PSG and turn down Real Madrid’s offer in the summer of last year. “The Royals” fear that the fans won’t be happy if they sign the French celebrity.
