Kylian Mbappe's future in the French capital is once again up in the air. The superstar no. 7 looked destined to join Real Madrid in the summer on a free transfer. However, much to everyone's surprise, Mbappe decided to stay put at PSG and signed a lucrative new deal.
But the Spanish giants have rekindled their interest in Mbappe and will go for the player if the superstar forward decides to leave his current club, Paris Saint-Germain.

Real Madrid will reportedly move for Kylian Mbappe if he decides to leave PSG
Kylian Mbappe will enter the final year of his PSG contract next summer as he only penned a two-year extension in 2022. However, there is a clause in his contract for another year, which can only be activated by the player.
According to The Athletic's Mario Cortegana, Real Madrid are considering making a move for the player again if he leaves the French club.
Kylian Mbappe could be available on a free transfer in the summer of 2024. Los Blancos are even considering buying the player in the summer of 2023. However, the Parisians could ask for an outrageous sum of close to €400 million for the superstar forward.
Los Blancos are looking to reinforce their attack as Karim Benzema is already 35 and has suffered his fair share of injury issues. Mbappe could serve as the perfect replacement for the 2022 Ballon d'Or winner.
He could also be the perfect heir to the no. 7 shirt as the Spanish side are yet to find a true replacement since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018.
