Real Madrid is seeking a clear response from Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé regarding his future by January 15, as reported by AS.

With Mbappé's current contract with Paris Saint-Germain set to conclude in the summer, Real Madrid is now officially allowed to initiate discussions at the beginning of January for a potential summer move as a free agent.

Los Blancos aim to expedite the process, and a contract proposal will be presented to Fayza Lamari, Mbappé's mother and agent.

Given the events of 2022, when Mbappé was strongly linked with a move to Madrid but ultimately chose to stay at PSG, Real Madrid is unwilling to wait extensively for a response.

The Spanish giants believe that setting a deadline of January 15 provides ample time for the French international to decide on representing the LaLiga team.

This approach is strategic, ensuring that Real Madrid has sufficient time to explore alternative solutions if a deal with Mbappé proves elusive. Among the alternatives, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is one of the players they have been linked with.

Confident in their position, Real Madrid is optimistic that the development demonstrated by players like Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Júnior, and Rodrygo since joining the Santiago Bernabeu will serve as persuasive factors to convince Mbappé to make the move.
