The PSG and Mbappé, each day more distanced

The Mbappé soap opera continues its course with the footballer increasingly confronted with his club, PSG. Mbappé trained this morning with Luis Enrique's discards and the squad that counts for the Asturian coach did so in the afternoon, for the first time in Paris since the Asian tour. PSG makes its debut in the French League on Saturday against Lorient and it is practically ruled out that Mbappé can play the game.

French media indicate that Mbappé is considering writing a statement to announce his desire to sign for Real Madrid. And he marks a date: next Saturday, once he knows that he is not called up for his team's league debut. That would be the step that the white club is waiting for to start a negotiation with the Parisian club.

Meanwhile, Madrid's watchword is to remain silent and remain expectant. The order in Madrid is not to talk about Mbappé and that is how both the players and Carlo Ancelotti have done it to date. Florentino Pérez continues to consider the idea of ​​letting this entire season go by and hiring the French star next summer without paying PSG anything and only disbursing a significant transfer bonus for the player. In France there is talk that it could reach 140 million.

Real Madrid right now is very divided on the convenience of signing Mbappé. In the social forums of the white club, there are more who prefer that the Frenchman not come, still hurt by the behavior of Mbappé, whom they consider unreliable and who they accuse of having used the negotiation with Madrid in 2022 to increase significantly His salary in the French entity is very remarkable.

Waiting for the outcome of the soap opera Mbappé, Madrid is already preparing its league debut, on Saturday in San Mamés against Athletic. The squad received today in Valdebebas the visit of the president, Florentino Pérez, who wished them luck for the season that is beginning.

Madrid will not be able to dispose of its three injured players in Bilbao: Dani Ceballos, who turned 27 yesterday, Mendy and Arda Güler. It is also very likely that Odriozola will not be in the squad by then, very close to signing for Juventus.
