The Kylian Mbappe saga rolls on and on. So much so that even when Paris Saint-Germain return to wider mainstream footballing focus on Wednesday there is still uncertainty over where he will be next.
Away from the French capital, almost certainly, but from there it is truly yet to be decided. The world appears to be getting a bit restless with it all, too.
Florentino Perez is reportedly frustrated that after years of pawning over the generational attacker, he is still yet to commit himself publicly, or indeed privately, to Real Madrid. PSG, meanwhile, are doing all they can to try and keep their main asset.
The Independent now writes that PSG executives expect him to move to Santiago Bernabeu.He has an offer from Los Blancos, though it is said to not be as big as he was expecting. With the demands of also wanting to effectively be unavailable for any side he chooses to be at for around three months following the season to carry out duties at Euro 2024 in Germany and then with his country's team at the Olympics in Paris later on, it's not an easy situation.
Meanwhile, the host of outsiders continue to watch on. There are sides in Saudi Arabia that have already made their case financially to Mbappe and clubs closer to home in Europe would no doubt be intrigued to see what sort of deal is possible.
Liverpool were offered his services last year but didn't wish to contemplate breaking the bank for him. Arsenal the same. The report states that he would 'willingly join' the Gunners. With the legacy allure of following Thierry Henry to north London, Mbappe's history could be written by legends gone by.
