Speculation continues to mount that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Kylian Mbappe may find a new home with Real Madrid this summer. Meanwhile, AC Milan is inching closer to securing the services of Marcus Thuram, a move that could significantly bolster their attacking line-up.
Mbappe, whose contract with PSG expires in 2024, has made it clear that he will not be extending his term. With this in mind, PSG may be forced to say goodbye to their star player this summer, rather than risk losing him for free next year.
Despite the complexities of the situation, there's a growing sense of optimism within Real Madrid's camp that the Frenchman will don their jersey this year. Rodra, a well-known source of football news, recently tweeted that many individuals within the club believe Mbappe will be joining them this summer.
However, it's important to note that this transfer won't be a straightforward affair. While Mbappe's skills on the field and his marketability off it make him a valuable asset, Real Madrid will still need to negotiate a transfer fee with PSG. The Parisian club might have to start these talks soon, despite rumors of a strained relationship with the Spanish powerhouse.
On another front, AC Milan is making significant strides in signing Marcus Thuram. The French striker's contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach is set to expire at the end of the month, and Milan has made him a tempting offer. Reportedly, the Rossoneri have proposed a contract worth at least €5m per year, an offer that Thuram has yet to respond to.
The Italian club finds itself in a strong position after Thuram turned down an offer from PSG. Milan is able to promise the French striker a key role in the team and guaranteed playing time-something PSG couldn't offer.
Last season, Thuram scored 13 goals and provided six assists in 30 Bundesliga appearances with Mönchengladbach. This impressive performance has made him a valuable player for any club seeking to strengthen their attack.
In addition to Thuram, Milan is also on the verge of welcoming Japanese international Daichi Kamada, who has agreed to sign a contract worth €3m per year.
The transfer period is heating up with these potential player movements. As clubs vie for the best talent, fans wait with bated breath to see where their favorite stars will end up.
