Real Madrid 'to submit final offer for Kylian Mbappe in New Year'
The Frenchman, widely regarded as one of the best players in world football, has been strongly linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu over the past few years, but a transfer has ultimately failed to bare fruit for various reasons.
PSG refused to part ways with Mbappe in the summer of 2021 despite allegedly receiving two nine-figure offers from Real Madrid, including a €200m (£171.2m) bid on the final day of the transfer window.
Los Blancos renewed their interest in Mbappe the following year and the 24-year-old was seemingly set to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer upon the expiration of his PSG contract, only to then perform a major U-turn and sign a new deal with the Ligue 1 champions until June 2024.
Mbappe, whose renewed contract will expire at the end of the current season, informed PSG earlier this year that he has no intention of triggering a one-year extension, leaving the Parisiens at risk of losing their star striker for free next summer.
The 2018 World Cup winner was subsequently banished from first-team training and left out of their pre-season tour squad, while a world-record €300m (£256.8m) bid from Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal was allegedly accepted by PSG, but Mbappe turned down the move to the Middle East.
Mbappe was eventually reintegrated into the PSG squad following several rounds of talks, and he has since scored 17 goals in as many games across all competitions this season, but uncertainty over his long-term future at the Parc des Princes remains heading into 2024.
