With just seven days before the transfer market shuts, France’s RMC Sport reported on Monday that the star striker has rejected down PSG’s offer of a new five-year contract with the option of a sixth.
Marca’s frontpage headline on Tuesday reads, “PSG now open the door to Mbappe,” implying that a €150 million move is “more feasible than ever,” despite the Bernabeu’s “extreme caution.”
Meanwhile, Diario AS claims that “both the player and PSG themselves are now aware that accepting a transfer is the best option for all sides.” On its frontpage, the publication goes even farther, suggesting that Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Juventus and joining PSG to replace him might be “the key for Mbappe.”
On Monday night, the Spanish radio program El Larguero adopted a more gloomy stance. Manu Carreno, the show’s well-connected presenter, said that the situation had not altered, that PSG did not want to let him leave at this time, and that the most probable scenario remained for Mbappe to join Real Madrid for free next summer.
Man United is also interested in bringing Mbappe in when his contract ends, according to ESPN sources.

Chelsea are reportedly seeking to finalise a loan deal for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez, according to the Daily Telegraph. 10.03 BST: Chelsea still have a handful of peripheral players to sign this transfer window.
Saul, 26, wants to leave LaLiga’s winners, and the Blues may give him a spot in the team if Ross Barkley, Danny Drinkwater, and Tiemoue Bakayoko are let go.
Chelsea is also said to have offered new contracts to Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger, who are in the last year of their current contracts.
09.29 BST: Manchester United are still interested in Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, despite sources telling ESPN’s Rob Dawson that a transfer to Old Trafford is “unlikely.”
According to reports in France over the weekend, Camavinga has played his last game for Rennes, who are looking to cash in on the midfielder before his contract expires.
Camavinga, who has been capped three times by France, has one year remaining on his contract and will be a free agent in 2022.
United are keen in signing the 18-year-old, but Old Trafford believes he would prefer to remain with Paris Saint-Germain or go to Spain. However, with the transfer window set to close on August 31, Camavinga’s future remains uncertain due to PSG’s bid for Lionel Messi and a paucity of money available for signings in LaLiga.
Morgan Rogers, a winger for Manchester City, has joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan.
Rogers, 19, had been linked with a £100 million deal for Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, but the England Under-18 international has signed a new contract with the club until 2024 and has gone on loan.
Bournemouth have the option of making the transfer permanent, according to Neill Blake, the club’s chief executive “Morgan has all of the qualities necessary to excel as a footballer. We are ecstatic to have acquired his services, and he will only contribute to a young, talented, and exciting group of players. We are really excited to collaborate with him.”
08.32 BST: In case you missed it, Xherdan Shaqiri left Liverpool on Monday for Lyon in a move for up to €11 million.
Shaqiri, 29, has signed a three-year deal with the Ligue 1 club, bringing his three-year stay at Anfield to a close. In the summer of 2018, the Switzerland international joined Liverpool from Stoke City, where he made 63 appearances and scored eight goals.
He’ll join a Lyon team that is aiming to improve on their fourth-place result in Ligue 1 last season, when they just lost out on Champions League qualifying on the last day.
08.00 BST: According to ESPN’s James Olley, Corinthians are in negotiations to acquire Arsenal winger Willian.
The 33-year-contract old’s at Emirates Stadium has two years left on it, but he wants out following a dismal debut season after joining the Gunners on a free transfer from Chelsea last summer.
Arsenal are looking to cut their wage bill and downsize their squad after spending over £130 million on new players in the current window, according to reports, and discussions have taken place regarding a move that may or may not include Corinthians paying a price.
Willian receives a minimum weekly wage of £100,000, but under Mikel Arteta, he has struggled to find chances. After testing positive for Covid-19, the Brazilian missed Arsenal’s first two Premier League losses against Brentford and Chelsea.
The two teams have yet to strike an agreement, with Willian reportedly preferring to remain in Europe, but considering how severely his career has stagnated in north London, the transfer is being seriously considered.
