One of the biggest soccer stars on the planet could be on the move this summer, as the relationship between Kylian Mbappe and PSG has completely broken down.
Concerns that the Frenchman could be set to leave the Parc des Princes are seemingly high, with the nation’s president, Emmanuel Macron, already claiming that he could talk to the player in the hope of getting the forward to remain at the Ligue 1 champions. However, the betting for Mbappe next club has already intensified, with a number of elite clubs weighing up a move.
Kylian Mbappe Next Club Odds
The betting markets for Mbappe next club have been open since the start of the summer transfer window. Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner, and the Spanish giants are currently a -150 chance to sign their big target.
Mbappe could yet remain at PSG for the final 12 months of his deal, and that option is a +175 chance. Manchester United has been the big market mover in the race for the Frenchman, and the Premier League giants are currently available at +600.
Real Madrid Emerge As Most Likely Destination
Real Madrid came close to signing Mbappe last summer, before the Frenchman eventually opted to remain in Paris. However, the last reports surrounding Mbappe next club have seen the Spanish side reportedly see a $250 million offer accepted. The French club are under pressure to sell the forward, as he could leave on a free transfer next summer.
Any deal for the 24-year-old would likely break the world record fee for a soccer star, which is currently the $222 million fee paid by PSG to Barcelona for Neymar. Reports have claimed that the deal could be made up of an initial $200 million, with $50 million included in bonus-related add-ons.
Could Mbappe Remain At PSG?
Fans will remember Mbappe’s previous outburst at his club last season, as it looked incredibly likely that he would swap Paris for Madrid. However, his exit this summer looks more likely, as he has announced that he will opt to leave on a free next summer if the club refuses to sell him this year.
PSG have always been adamant that they wouldn’t lose the World Cup winner on a bosman, but Mbappe has reportedly claimed that he will only leave this summer if the Parisians pay him the loyalty bonus that was included in his current deal. The loyalty bonus centers around his decision to stay with PSG last summer, with reports claiming that he is set to receive a staggering $90 million.
Man United Could Enter Mbappe Race
The one club that potentially may get involved in the race for the Frenchman are Manchester United. The Red Devils are one of the only other clubs in world soccer that could pay the Kylian Mbappe salary, but it will likely hinge on whether Sheikh Jassim’s bid to buy the Old Trafford club is successful.
United’s ongoing ownership uncertainty is threatening to de-rail any transfer plans, with the Glazer family set to sell up after mounting fan pressure. Recent reports have claimed that a move for Mbappe is ‘fantasy’ at this stage, but a future move to the Theatre of Dreams could be a realistic option in the future.
What Will Be Mbappe’s Next Club?
It is no surprise that many of Europe’s top clubs are monitoring the Frenchman, as the Mbappe stats showcase that he enjoyed one of his best scoring seasons in 2022-23. The 24-year-old netted 29 league goals and seven in the Champions League.
However, the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future is likely to continue throughout the summer. But, we expect a breakthrough to be made later in the summer, with Real Madrid finally getting their man in a world-record deal with PSG.
- Pick: Real Madrid (-150)
