According to confidential sources from the Spanish newspaper OkDiario, the big English team Man United was ready to compete with the La Liga giants in the race to win the signature of attacker Mbappe but was unsuccessful.
Red Devils Man United made an “unbelievable” offer for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Kylian Mbappe before the young French striker agreed to move to Real Madrid.
Over the past few weeks, Kylian Mbappe’s future has attracted speculation as time moves closer to this summer. The French superstar’s contract with PSG will expire at the end of the season, causing all of Europe to closely monitor Mbappe’s situation. There are many sources confirming that the French winger will wear Real Madrid’s iconic shirt next season.
Footballtransfers.com revealed Mbappe had made it a priority to inform PSG a day in advance of his intention to leave as a free agent when his contract ended. This 25-year-old superstar also agreed to terms with the Spanish giant but did not announce the details because he is still a member of PSG. And even at this moment, Mbappe still has other options, if things don’t go as expected, and he may go to Old Trafford in the summer.
According to OkDairo, Manchester United tried to tempt Mbappe with a “huge” offer before he agreed to move to Santiago Bernabeu. The Red Devils did not hesitate to offer Kylian Mbappe a salary of 500 million euros for a five-year contract along with a signing fee of 200 million euros.
Manchester United’s new owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, sees the recruitment of the PSG winger as a great opportunity for the Premier League giant to develop in the future. The Red Devils are also not afraid of lacking money for the Mbappe transfer campaign when they have more budget from the new boss. But it seems that Mbappe has set his heart on Real Madrid and will not look the other way, if nothing unexpected happens, like the time he cruelly refused the big Spanish club to stay at PSG.
Currently, the press still predicts that Mbappe wants to come to Real with a significant sum of money signed in the summer. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the French superstar will receive more than 100 million euros from the transfer and the number after negotiation can be up to 150 million euros.
It would be no surprise if Kylian Mbappe becomes a Real Madrid player at the end of the season, before both sides need to ensure they finish the current campaign strongly. Accordingly, Mbappe will lead PSG to find victory against Monaco away from home in Ligue 1 on March 1. Most recently, they drew 1-1 with Rennes at home and PSG is still leading the Ligue 1 rankings.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will look to beat Valencia away from home on March 2. Los Blancos are also ranked top of the La Liga table with 65 points, 7 points ahead of second-place team Girona and extending the gap with big rival Barcelona, ranked third, by 9 points.
