As another transfer window looms in the horizon, the Real Madrid-Mbappe saga has once again sprung to life. And this time, it is believed to be in its final act - now or never. According to Spanish outlet<a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/mercado-fichajes/ultimo-intento-mbappe-real-madrid-20231201162113-nt.html" target="_blank"> Relevo</a>, Los Blancos will present an offer to the 2018 World Cup winner in the first part of 2024, allowing <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/erling-haaland-kylian-mbappe-vinicius-jr-real-madrid-julio-baptista-why-florentino-perez-reform-galacticos/bltc906ab1a09494a07" target="_blank">Mbappe to join the team as a free agent</a> after finishing the season with Paris Saint-Germain.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Until January, FIFA regulations prohibit negotiations with a contracted player. This led Real Madrid to deny any approach being made to the player in November. With the new year, the situation will change as Mbappe will be in the final six months of his contract at PSG and the club aims to make a final attempt at signing the star player, to put an end to their pursuit that has spanned over five years.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Real Madrid did try to undertake the Mbappe operation in the summer of 2023 but financial constraints prevented them from manoeuvring. With patience, the club believes the pieces are in place for a successful transfer. Although there is an air of controlled optimism in the offices of the Bernabeu, they have learnt from past mistakes and are unwilling to play the waiting game anymore. They have an offer in place and will not go all out for the player as they are convinced with the firepower in the squad and that of Endrick who will arrive at the Madrid giants from Brazil's Palmeiras in 2024.

DID YOU KNOW?

Real Madrid are reportedly willing to pay €35 million net per season to Mbappe. They also have one eye on Erling Haaland as they boast <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erling-haaland-kylian-mbappe-real-madrid-342m-galactico-transfer-war-chest-man-city-psg/bltcc294eac66fe39cd" target="_blank">of a £342m ($429m) transfer war chest </a>in the summer of 2024.
