The long-running soap opera between Real Madrid and Mbappe looks like it is finally coming to an end this year, and the striker is now free to negotiate and pre-sign contracts with Real Madrid and other clubs.
Paris still hope to keep Mbappe, but given the current situation, everything is no longer in the hands of Leonardo, Pochettino and Nasser, Mbappe now has his fate in his own hands, he is free to choose where to play next season, it seems that Real Madrid's 5-year wait will be harvested in 2022.
The Marca newspaper said that the Bernabeu office is full of confidence in signing Mbappe, but the deal will never be officially announced in the near future, even if Real Madrid and Paris will not have a direct dialogue in the Champions League, and announcing the deal in advance will not be of any benefit to all parties, it is conceivable that when the two sides meet in the Champions League, it is difficult for the top management of the two clubs to expect a friendly atmosphere, and Florentino's Europa League plan last year further increased the differences between Real Madrid and Paris.
All in all, the problem Ancelotti faces next season appears to be how to integrate Mbappe into his squad, and that's a question that all coaches love to have.
