And here we go again my Kyky. Every day (or almost), 20 Minutes takes stock of the latest advances and rumors more or less based on the future of Kylian Mbappé, whose relations with PSG follow the inverse curve of global warming. Departure to Real Madrid this summer or not? Spread the word, the Mbappometer is back.
Wednesday, June 28
While the French sports press, The Team And The Parisian in the lead, has been quiet for a few days about the transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Real, no real new information having appeared in recent hours, it is on the side of Spain and the cult Chiringuito that we must turn to feed our Mbappometer that Florentino Perez envies us. According to Edu Aguirre, journalist following Real in the famous Spanish sports broadcast, the French international has never “been so close to Madrid”. “It could even be a matter of days,” he says.
For Aguirre, the key in this file is called Fayza Lamari, the mother and adviser of the “Kyks”. She would currently play the role of intermediary between two clubs which for the moment do not really want to negotiate eye to eye. Lamari would therefore discuss on one side with Florentino Perez, and with Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Qatar on the other. Still according to Aguirre, Real Madrid would be ready to move this summer so as not to risk the same trick as last summer, when Mbappé had turned around to finally extend to Paris and leave the Merengues as the fools of the game.
A very thick envelope to sign the “Kyks”
For that, he would have communicated to the player’s mother the overall envelope he has to achieve the coup of the century. Result: 250 million euros in total which could be used, if things evolved in the right direction, to pay for the transfer as well as the juicy signing bonus for Mbappé. Despite everything, knowing that time is in its favor and not in that of PSG, Real does not seem in any more of a hurry than that to advance its pawns and even less to negotiate directly with Qatar.
And Edu Aguirre to conclude: “Real’s position would be to say: ‘if he doesn’t come this year, he will come next year. If Paris asks us too much, he will definitely come next year or if Mbappé and his mother ask us for an excessive bonus, he will come next year.
Credibility: 80%. There is no doubt that Real Madrid have the war chest sufficient to carry out such an operation, even though they have just dropped more than 100 potatoes to afford the services of Jude Bellingham. It remains to be seen whether, in the event of negotiations between the two clubs, PSG will not be too greedy for a player who is entering his last year of contract.
Mbappometer: If we always take the information from the Chiringuito with crowbars, we have no doubt on the other hand that Real is working hard in submarine mode to destroy the PSG project built around Mbappé and buy both a potential Golden Ball/global star and the good graces of his supporters.
