Real Madrid Dressing Room Discusses Mbappe

POSTED ON December 1, 2023 •   Football      BY Segun Adewole
Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has provided insight into discussions that took place in the team's dressing room this summer regarding the potential transfer of Kylian Mbappe. Carvajal candidly admitted that conversations about Mbappe's possible move to the LaLiga giants were prevalent, particularly after the French star was omitted from Paris Saint-Germain's pre-season tour to Japan. While speaking with Relevo, Carvajal acknowledged the buzz surrounding Mbappe's future, stating, "I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that it wasn't discussed, but there were all kinds of opinions in the preseason after-dinner conversations. 'Well, I think it's coming, well, I think it's not.'" Mbappe's transfer saga created tension with his current club, PSG, as he made his intentions clear by refusing to sign a contract extension. His existing contract with PSG is set to expire in June 2024. The 24-year-old French forward's potential move to Real Madrid had been a subject of intense speculation during the summer transfer window. The excitement among fans and players alike was palpable, especially given Mbappe's star status in world football. Despite the fervor surrounding the potential transfer, no agreement materialized during the transfer window. Mbappe remains with PSG, at least until his contract's expiration date, leaving fans and football pundits to wonder about his next career move. The prospect of Mbappe donning the white jersey of Real Madrid had captured the imagination of football enthusiasts worldwide, but for now, it remains a topic of speculation and anticipation for future transfer windows.
