A fresh insight into the ongoing saga linking Kylian Mbappé with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid has been provided this evening.
The info comes courtesy of Relevo, who point towards the transfer inching closer than ever before to coming to fruition.
Real’s desire to bring frontman Mbappé to Spain’s capital with a view to next season has of course long represented one of football’s worst kept secrets.
Ahead of the expiration of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, Los Blancos, two years on from being rejected by the Frenchman, have returned to the negotiating table with force.
So much so that Relevo point towards optimism surrounding a deal being struck with Mbappé as having ‘skyrocketed’ over recent days, adamant that ‘all that remains is to put the icing on the cake’.
Word of negotiations picking up steam has reached the dressing room at the Santiago Bernabéu, too, where Real’s stars have already begun to discuss the prospect of having another of world football’s finest as a teammate next season.
“You can see that there have been movements. Something is happening… Now it is,” the players are cited as stating.
Significantly, it is also suggested that, in contrast to prior reports, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad are for the most part excited by the possibility of playing with Mbappé.
The 25-year-old boasts a number of close friends in Madrid, chiefly fellow countrymen and France internationals Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy.
All of this considered, Relevo conclude that:
‘Optimism has reached a locker room that rubs its hands with the template that continues to be made for the next ten years.’
