The Kylian Mbappé transfer saga has been one of the most talked-about topics in the football world in recent months. Speculations about the French superstar leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for Real Madrid have dominated headlines, but as the summer transfer window comes to a close, the situation remains uncertain. Amidst this uncertainty, El Chiringuito host Josep Pedrerol has provided his insights and advice to Real Madrid on how to navigate the situation if Mbappé decides to stay at PSG.
Real Madrid is set to endure another summer without securing Kylian Mbappé’s services, marking the second consecutive year. Many had anticipated the Spanish club’s acquisition of the player, particularly given the 24-year-old’s decision not to trigger his contract extension option.
Furthermore, it seemed that Real Madrid was willing to engage in negotiations for the transfer of the Frenchman. With his absence from PSG’s summer tour in Asia, a transfer appeared imminent. However, this anticipated scenario will not materialize.
Additionally, there have been discussions surrounding a possible contract extension for Mbappé.
Josep Pedrerol, the host of El Chiringuito, has opined that Real Madrid should abandon their pursuit if Mbappé chooses to prolong his stay with PSG.
Moreover, Pedrerol has gone a step further by suggesting that if the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner doesn’t become a free agent, Real Madrid should redirect their attention to Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.

“Real Madrid president Florentino [Perez] has faith in me,” Pedrerol stated on Thursday. “If Mbappé extends his contract, the focus should shift to Haaland.” Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti had alternative plans for this summer, but the La Liga side has pinned all their hopes on securing Mbappé. The outcome of this strategic decision will be captivating to observe in the upcoming 12 months.
The advice from Josep Pedrerol serves as a reminder that in football, as in any team sport, the interests of the club must always come first. Whether it’s pursuing a superstar like Mbappé or exploring alternative options, Real Madrid’s ultimate goal remains success on the pitch, and their strategies should reflect that commitment.
