With the 24-year-old’s contract set to expire in the summer, Real Madrid is pushing for a definitive answer from Mbappé about his future by January 15.

In addition to the Mbappé drama, there are several other intriguing transfer rumors and reports making headlines. Let’s take a closer look at all the latest gossip and speculation in the world of transfer talk.
Real Madrid are putting pressure on Kylian Mbappé to make a decision about his future by Jan. 15. Mbappé’s current contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends in the summer, meaning Real Madrid are allowed to start discussing a potential summer move with him in January. The Spanish giants are reportedly not willing to wait long for a response after being heavily linked with Mbappé in 2022. Real Madrid feel confident in their position and have potential options in Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies. Additionally, Manchester City are looking to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich, while Borussia Dortmund are eyeing left-backs Fran García and Sergio Reguilón, among others.
