As one of the most valuable and highly regarded players in the world football world today, what choices Mbappe will make in this winter window is a topic of great concern for many teams. Now Mbappe’s contract with the club is about to expire, and he can contact other teams in January. Spanish media reports that Real Madrid, as the top contender to leave, has requested that Mbappe make a decision in January to confirm whether or not to join Real Madrid in order to avoid the same situation as two years ago. Otherwise, they will not continue to wait.
However, according to the news from renowned football journalist Romano, Mbappe doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to make a decision in January. Previously, L’Equipe stated that Mbappe would not leave in January, which was not the best choice for him, and at this stage, signing Mbappe would require a huge transfer fee. Other teams would officially start competing for Mbappe after the end of the season. However, most clubs will not give up the opportunity to contact Mbappe in January, at least to maintain a good relationship and ensure that the club can participate in Mbappe’s competition during the summer window.
There are still many clubs interested in Mbappe at present, but there are only three clubs that can sign him, including Paris Saint Germain, Real Madrid, and Liverpool in the English Premier League. It’s not that other clubs won’t compete, but these three options are already the most suitable. Overseas leagues such as the Saudi League are not considered, clubs that cannot pay a signing fee of over £ 100 million are also not considered, and clubs that cannot provide Champions League competition opportunities are not Mbappe’s goal. Overall, these three clubs undoubtedly have the most opportunities.
If Mbappe does not make a decision in January, Real Madrid will not spend too much energy competing against him in the summer window. They have now set their own conditions, including a salary cut, partial portrait rights, and a signing fee of over 100 million euros. If they can accept such conditions, Real Madrid still welcomes Mbappe’s joining, but if they cannot provide a clear answer, they will not be too demanding. Moreover, Real Madrid’s patience is very limited. If Mbappe cannot confirm in the end, they are likely to focus their energy on other top scorers, such as Haaland, Alvarez, and others.
Without the option of Real Madrid, Liverpool is also a good target, and Mbappe can completely replace Salah as the team’s attacking core. Moreover, Liverpool currently has a transfer budget in their hands, and if Mbappe can be signed, it will be a significant improvement for the team. Of course, we cannot ignore the option of Paris Saint Germain. They have never given up the possibility of renewing his contract with Mbappe, and just like two years ago, Paris Saint Germain can still change his mind and keep Mbappe with a high salary.
