Real Madrid Denies Reports of Mbappé Talks
Real Madrid has officially denied holding talks with Kylian Mbappé amid rumors of a potential move next summer, The club released a statement calling the reports “absolutely false”, This contradicts recent stories in the media, including Marca and L’Equipe, which suggested that Madrid were still pursuing the PSG forward.
Real Madrid has issued a formal statement denying any discussions with Kylian Mbappé regarding a potential transfer from Paris Saint-Germain next summer. According to a report by Marca, it was suggested that “Madrid are staying quiet, but [the club] sees him wearing white in 2024”.
However, Real Madrid has strongly refuted these claims, asserting that they are entirely untrue and that negotiations with Mbappé, who is currently contracted to PSG, have not taken place. While the club did not identify the specific reports it was responding to, they are keen to clarify their position on the matter.

Real Madrid’s interest in the French forward is longstanding, as he has been a high-priority target for club president Florentino Perez. In previous transfer windows, Real Madrid was unsuccessful in their attempts to sign Mbappé, both in 2021 when their bid was rejected by PSG and in 2022 when the forward decided to extend his contract with Paris.
Mbappé’s announcement last summer, indicating his intention to leave PSG in 2024 after his contract expires, reignited speculation linking him to Real Madrid. However, the Spanish club has not made any formal moves to secure his services, leaving their No. 9 shirt vacant for the current season.
Meanwhile, Mbappé has been in stellar form for PSG this season, with 10 goals in 10 Ligue 1 games and two goals in three Champions League appearances.
Mbappé remains a highly sought-after player, but it seems that Real Madrid’s pursuit of him may not be as concrete as previously thought.
