The summer transfer window is into its final week for the major European leagues, which means the biggest clubs with the deepest pockets are looking to make a final splash in the market while they still can.
Kylian Mbappe’s move to the Los Blancos from Paris Saint-Germain this summer could seriously be in jeopardy with the La Liga giants threatening to withdraw their offer, according to reports that have surfaced in France.
Le Parisien reports that the belligerent Madridistas have sent PSG an ultimatum in the event that the club is unprepared to accept the alleged latest offer of 180 million euros for the World Cup winner.
The report claims that the hierarchy at the Santiago Bernabeu would like any potential move to be completed by Sunday – or they will dig in their heels and walk away from the negotiations.
The 22-year-old Mbappe has been linked with a move away from Ligue 1 since obdurately refusing to agree on a new deal with PSG.
With just one year left on his current contract, Real Madrid’s pressure could force the French club into accepting the latest offer to avoid losing the star on a free transfer next summer.
If the deal is derailed, it could affect PSG’s post-Mbappe plans with sources telling ESPN that the club has taraged Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski, Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland or Everton’s Richalison as a replacement.
