The lack of communication by Kylian Mbappé regarding his future amid constant links to the Spanish capital club is beginning to annoy the powers that be within Real Madrid as the club is presently at an apparent standstill over its transfer window plans because of the 22-year-old staying incommunicado and preferring to keep his plans close to his chest.
Marca (via Foot-01) reflects that this would be viewed as a failure for Florentino Perez with regards to the Mbappé file as the president is dead intent on recruiting the French wizard striker.
Real Madrid has seen the departures of club luminaries Zinedine Zidane and Sergio Ramos, with another world-proven defender Raphaël Varane soon to join the list, yet conspicuously without any flashy names joining the squad of newly-returned Carlo Ancelotti. A hint of a deja vù process that clearly showed its limitations last season with zero titles, to the chagrin and annoyance of its supporters.
If Madrid hopes that PSG reconsiders its position and ends up negotiating a transfer in the face of the player’s refusal to extend with the capital club, they do not show any sign of weakness at the moment.
With PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi taking the negotiation with Mbappé for a contract extension, the Los Blancos are still waiting to see what transpires.
Nonetheless, Perez’s obsession with signing the young forward has weakened the team and this is not going down well with its supporters. He has not spent a single euro on recruitment for two years and has been dependent only on the old guard that won the three straight UEFA Champions League trophies.
