Nonetheless, the transfer didn’t materialize. As a result, Tchouaméni expressed his disappointment about not seeing the PSG star join Real Madrid.
“Did I anticipate Mbappé’s arrival in Madrid? Certainly,” Tchouaméni mentioned.
“The top players belong here, and he’s undeniably one of them. Unfortunately, it didn’t come to pass.”
However, the La Liga team remains determined in their pursuit of the 24-year-old winger. Real Madrid will be able to commence initial contract discussions with the player in January, given that his current contract runs until June 2024, offering the chance to secure his services for the 2024-25 season.
The ongoing Mbappé transfer saga has been a rollercoaster of rumors, rendering it difficult to predict the final result. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, the 2018 FIFA World Cup champion has started the season in outstanding form, displaying his exceptional goal-scoring abilities.
