‘Acting for money,’ Kylian Mbappe has threatened that if he signs a new deal with PSG, Real Madrid would move on to Erling Haaland.

Date:

Real Madrid have told Kylian Mbappe that if he extends his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, they will move on to Erling Haaland.

After positive negotiations with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the French attacker has been returned to the first squad. But, there has been no talk of an extension, and the player is ready to forego his loyalty incentive in order to walk away for free next summer, according to sources. Although PSG continues to want Mbappe to sign a contract extension so that he does not leave for free, it is thought that a final deal is still a long way off.

If Mbappe does decide to leave Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid legend Guti has warned that Los Blancos will abandon their pursuit of the striker in favour of Manchester City’s Haaland.

WHAT THEY SAID: “I want Mbappe to play for Real Madrid. Real cannot afford the luxury of closing the door to such a player,” Guti told El Chiringuito. “But if Mbappe extends his contract with PSG, it will show that he is acting for the money. If that happens, Real Madrid will have to opt for Erling Haaland.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Real Madrid have not signed a top-quality striker after the departure of Karim Benzema and their No. 9 shirt remains vacant. While Carlo Ancelotti has mooted the possibility of spending the 2023-24 campaign without a new No. 9, things could change in the final lap of the transfer window if the Spanish giants struggle for goals without a heavyweight striker.

WHAT NEXT? Real Madrid will be back in action on Saturday against Almeria in La Liga, while Mbappe will look to fire PSG to the three points against Toulouse in Ligue 1 on the same day.
