No changes likely to occur in the Mbappé and Real Madrid saga – Romano

Reports over the past 24 hours have signaled a potential tension around France forward Kylian Mbappé’s future at Paris Saint-Germain.

After his hattrick against Reims on Saturday night, head coach of the French club Luis Enrique stated, when asked about Kylian’s performance: “I’m not really happy with Kylian today. I have nothing to say about the goals… But he can help the team more, in different ways. He’s a world class player, we want more. I’m going to talk to him about it first, it’s private.”

This sparked a new round of rumors, placing the 2018 World Cup winner closer to Real Madrid.

However, in the ongoing saga surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s potential move to Real Madrid, the latest developments suggest that significant changes are unlikely to occur either now or in December. This is according to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Real Madrid recently issued a statement making it clear that they have held no negotiations with the player with respect to a possible move next summer.

The statement read: “Given the information recently issued and published by different media outlets, in which there is speculation about alleged negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappe and our club, Real Madrid CF would like to state that this information is completely false and that no such negotiations have taken place with a player who belongs to PSG.”

Contrary reports emerged from Spain, suggesting that Real Madrid might have shifted their focus away from Mbappé to Erling Haaland. Allegedly, the club is considering redirecting their efforts towards securing the services of the prolific City striker. Despite these rumors, Haaland’s primary focus currently appears to be on Manchester City, and no substantive discussions regarding his transfer seem to be underway, according to Fabrizio.

Adding a layer of complexity to the narrative, it was reported that Haaland’s agent was present at the Bernabéu. However, it’s crucial to note that this visit may not be directly related to transfer talks with Real Madrid concerning the City striker. The situation remains notably quiet on Haaland’s side, leaving fans and pundits alike in anticipation of further developments.

As the football world eagerly awaits the next chapter in these transfer sagas, the intricate dance between clubs and players continues, with uncertainty shrouding the ultimate destinations of Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.
