Ever since Jan. 1, Kylian Mbappé has been free. He is still under contract at Paris Saint-Germain, of course, but with his deal expiring in June, he could, by rule, sign a binding pre-contract agreement anywhere. He could commit to Real Madrid and lock in a lucrative future; he could re-sign with PSG. But 25 days into his quasi-free agency, he hasn’t — and his suitors are getting antsy.
Real Madrid, long favored to sign Mbappé, has reportedly asked for a definitive decision soon.
Mbappé, though, holds all the power.
He is, without a doubt, soccer’s most valuable star.
