Kylian Mbappe has been the center of attention in the summer transfer window, with numerous reports linking him to a high-profile move to Real Madrid, the Spanish giants.
Rodrygo, a forward for Madrid, expressed his hope that the French and Paris Saint-Germain superstar joins Los Blancos, believing that his presence would greatly benefit the team.
As the new season approaches, Mbappe has returned to training, gearing up for the upcoming campaign.
While Mbappe’s contract is set to expire at the end of the following season, PSG has made it clear that they expect him to sign a new deal to avoid losing him for free.
However, reports suggest that the World Cup-winning player is not inclined to extend his current contract.
He has been heavily linked with Madrid, who tried and failed to sign him last summer.
Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi insisted they cannot lose the winger for nothing next season during the introduction of new manager Luis Enrique.
“We want him to stay but he can’t leave for free. There was a verbal agreement and he had discussed it in an interview.“ And I was really shocked to learn that he had decided to leave for free. It’s very disappointing,” via Eurosport.
Rodrygo wants Mbappe to join Madrid
It seems it is only a matter of time before Mbappe is sold by PSG this summer, considering the rhetoric by Khelaifi.
Rodrygo hopes the French star signs for Madrid.
“Of course, I hope Mbappe comes because he will help us a lot. He is a real star, but we really don’t know anything,” via GOAL.
Madrid are reportedly willing to pay 200 million euros to acquire the services of arguably the best player in the world.
Until then, the saga and power struggles within the club continue, and it remains to be seen how it will play out by the time the season starts.
Even Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez questioned Mbappe’s decisiveness in regard to his strong links to Real Madrid. Los Blancos started the window strongly by signing Jude Bellingham.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Mbappe’s recent outburst against Paris Saint-Germain has not gone down well with former Italian and West Ham United player Paolo Di Canio, who has criticized the forward.
In a recent interview, the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner took shots at the club as the fallout of his decision not to activate a contract extension clause with the Ligue 1 champions continues to rain down.
Di Canio has now labeled Mbappe as ‘indecent and disrespectful’ towards the Parisians, who have reportedly informed the forward he must extend his deal or be sold this summer.
