The “Relevo” network reported that Real Madrid players appealed to the Royal Club’s management not to announce the contract with Kylian Mbappe before the end of the current season.
The Real Madrid management reached an agreement with Mbappe to join him next summer after the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but so far the two parties have not officially announced the matter.
Why do Real Madrid players want to postpone the announcement of Mbappe’s signing?
According to what Relevo revealed, the feeling inside the locker room is that an early announcement of Mbappe’s inclusion may obscure the great achievements achieved by Carlo Ancelotti’s squad this season.
There is a possibility that Mbappe’s inclusion will be announced if Paris Saint-Germain exits the Champions League, and it worries the players about the crucial period remaining of the season.
In that case, the media will focus solely on the matter and put pressure on the current players and withdraw their focus on the rest of the Champions League.
What is the ideal date for Real Madrid players to announce the signing of Mbappe?
The stars of the Spanish club believe that the announcement of the Mbappe deal should happen after the end of the season to serve as the final touch to this very special season at the Santiago Bernabeu.
More precisely, the players want to celebrate the Spanish League title with the fans, bid farewell to departing great players such as Nacho and Luka Modric, finish the Champions League and then look to announce the inclusion of Mbappe.
The Real Madrid players reached the point of wishing that Paris Saint-Germain would pass Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals, so that it would be confirmed that the announcement of Mbappe’s inclusion would be postponed until after the final.
When will Real Madrid announce the signing of Mbappe?
Spanish media had previously indicated that Real Madrid was unlikely to announce the inclusion of Mbappé before the end of the season, even if Paris Saint-Germain exited the Champions League.
The plan is for the deal to be announced before the player starts participating with the France national team in Euro 2024, that is, in the first two weeks of June and after the Champions League final scheduled for June 1 at Wembley Stadium.
As for the player himself, he would not prefer for the announcement to be made while he is still a PSG player for fear that he would be exposed to harassment or anything that would affect him before the crucial period he is experiencing this season.
What did Mbappe do this season with Paris Saint-Germain?
This season, Mbappe played 45 matches in all tournaments, during which he scored 43 goals and assisted 10 others.
Mbappé is the top scorer in the French League with 26 goals, and winning the competition’s shield was his first championship this season with Luis Enrique’s squad.
The 25-year-old can end his career with a historic hat-trick with PSG, as the team competes in the French Cup final against Rennes, and will play the Champions League semi-finals with Dortmund.
