Why did Real Madrid deny negotiating a contract with Mbappe?

"Real Madrid's move is surprising, because Mbappe has long been linked with the Bernabeu team. However, things only stop there. Recently, the French press mentioned the possibility that Mbappe could sign a new contract with PSG from the beginning of 2024 and will stay here long-term," Marca said.

Mbappe has kept absolutely silent since last summer when he asked to leave PSG.

"However, many sources from France also revealed that Mbappe has run out of motivation to play for PSG. This star is just waiting until the contract ends in June 2024 to join Real Madrid. Mbappe has been in contact with Real Madrid since the beginning of 2024 when the winter transfer market opened and this player is allowed to promote with the new club," Marca shared, based on sources from the Spanish and French press recently published.

"Based on information recently published by various media outlets, including speculation about alleged negotiations between player Kylian Mbappe and our club, Real Madrid would like to state that this information is completely false. No such negotiations have taken place between us and the player currently owned by PSG," Real Madrid said in a statement on November 5 (Vietnam time).

At the same time, Real Madrid also announced that it had officially extended the contracts of two strikers, including Rodrygo (until June 2028) and Vinicius until June 2027. Both of these Brazilian stars have a contract termination clause of up to 1 billion euros.

Rodrygo signs contract extension with Real Madrid until June 2028

Vinicius, Rodrygo, along with young talent Jude Bellingham (20 years old) - who just won the Kopa Cup (best young player of 2023), are the core members of Real Madrid Club to build an all-star squad from the summer of 2024. Among them, Mbappe and Man City striker Erling Haaland are the stars that have been targeted for recruitment since the summer of 2024.

"It is appropriate for Real Madrid to speak out about Mbappe's case now, because this player is actually still under contract with PSG. Real Madrid does not want to affect the process they will promote official negotiations with Mbappe once allowed. Therefore, this announcement also almost wants to confirm a suitable process for negotiations, when Real Madrid has clearly shown the ability to recruit Mbappe," Marca expressed.
