In the event of Kylian Mbappé’s potential departure, Fabrizio Romano, renowned for transfer market insights, reveals PSG’s strategic plan.
While nothing is definitive regarding a move to Real Madrid, there’s a gradual progression, with Mbappé reportedly open to a reduced salary in Madrid.
Romano states, « Real Madrid continues confidently in advancing towards an agreement with Kylian Mbappé – but formalities are yet to be signed. A formal decision from the player is expected soon, a crucial step in the pact with Kylian that President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and PSG have not received any formal communication about. »
Contrary to the assertions made by Le Parisien over the weekend, the departure is not an absolute certainty, but indications suggest increasing proximity. Romano notes, « Total confidence from Real Madrid has also been shared within the locker room. »

However, it appears that Mbappé might need to make financial concessions, reportedly agreeing to a salary « significantly lower than that of 2022. » Additionally, Romano unveils PSG’s strategy to replace Kylian Mbappé, stating, « PSG has already outlined a contingency plan in case Mbappé decides to depart. » Names like Rafael Leão and Victor Osimhen are prominently featured in Monday’s media reports.
Furthermore, as per this source, PSG plans a comprehensive squad overhaul, targeting a high-caliber central defender, a pivotal midfielder, and a prominent striker to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappé. The likes of Yoro, Guimaraes, and Leao are among the speculated targets, adding an element of anticipation and uncertainty.
