Mbappe and PSG contract negotiation not progressing well amid Madrid interest
Mbappe continues to be linked with a move to Madrid despite the financial repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to Catalan news outlet Sport, Real Madrid's potential transfer for Kylian Mbappe hinges on one important factor - and that's his contract.
With the French star's current deal expiring in 2022, Paris Saint-Germain are trying to get him to commit to new terms but Sport understands that talks are not progressing well.
As a result, Madrid are eyeing a deal for Mbappe next year - meaning PSG would have to sell him for a cut-price fee.
Provided the attacker refrains from signing fresh terms, Los Blancos will have a chance of signing Mbappe at a significantly lower price than his €222m release clause.
For the ongoing transfer window, however, Madrid will focus more on sales rather than signings due to the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
