The winter transfer window is now closed in Europe’s top leagues, but there are plenty of moves in the works and gossip swirling around as we look ahead to the summer. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!

TOP STORY: Mbappé’s move to Madrid in jeopardy?

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé is reportedly yet to decide upon his future, leaving the French outfit and Real Madrid in limbo.

Mbappé is having another stellar season in France, notching 30 goals in just 29 appearances, but his current deal with PSG is set to expire in June, leaving the 25-year-old free to discuss terms with other clubs. While it was widely understood that Mbappé was going to join Real Madrid, The Athletic indicates that a move may not materialise.

The report says that while the Frenchman was leaning towards a move to Los Blancos, his representatives have not been convinced by their offer, with their proposal less than what was offered in negotiations during May 2022. As a result, this has stalled any potential switch to the Spanish giants, with Mbappé still mulling over his options.

It is reported that PSG have offered the forward several options for a contract renewal, including short-term and long-term deals, which remain on the table. Real Madrid reportedly cannot match PSG’s offer, although Madrid’s president Florentino Perez could prove instrumental in negotiations to tempt Mbappé to the Santiago Bernabéu.

The saga continues.
