The Spanish press reported in March last year that Kylian Mbappe had an agreement in principle with Real Madrid to join them for the current season.
According to Daniel Riolo in 'RMC Sport', at the time, the Bondy native had already given his word to PSG that he would sign until 2025. "It is possible that Mbappe agreed the terms of a new contract with both sides before making a fully informed decision," he said.
In other words, Mbappe would have said 'yes' to PSG and, at the same time, to Real Madrid. The player toyed with both, as he knew that one of the two would have to be rejected at the last minute. In the end, he closed the door on Real Madrid in May, when it was announced that he was staying at the Parc des Princes.
This information unveiled by Daniel Riolo comes from wiretaps in the 'Hamraoui case'. The investigators tapped several phones to access information relating to this case and Mbappe's name emerged. "The origin of this mention and the details are not specified," the journalist stresses.
