He PSG was open to offers and the Al Hilal of the Saudi Arabian Pro League made a world record offer of 300 million euros, which was accepted by the club but rejected by Mbappé.
Finally, the signing of the friend of Mbappé, Ousmane Dembéléand the output of Neymar for 90 million euros they persuaded the 24-year-old to change his mind. He has agreed to sign new terms, which are likely to contain a release clause of around €100 million to €150 million, so that the club can receive a transfer fee when he leaves. Those terms have yet to be confirmed, so watch this space, but he is likely to be a Madrid player in the next 12 months, if they sign him.
Williamswho is only 21 years old, is a key player for Ernesto Valverde and Athletic would hate to lose him for nothing. The fast winger has attracted the attention of the Premier Leaguebut is reportedly ready to sign a two-year extension with a €50 million release clause.
“Everything has a process and everything goes very well,” he told Relief. “I want to send calm, for people to be calm that everything is going very well.”
After months of speculation that he could go to the Man United o al BarcelonaRabiot signed a one-year extension to his contract with the Juventus in June, but that only delayed a long-term decision about his future for another 12 months.

After almost leaving to join the Bayern Munich, Walker will follow Bernard Silva in the signing of a new contract in the City. And if he finishes the three years, he will reach a decade at the club he joined from Tottenham Hotspur in 2017.
“In the back of my head I always wanted to play in the Manchester City, but I had to do the right thing for myself and for my future and that was the club that would give me the most years,” he said. “Why should I leave if I’m going to have enough proper playing time for myself? That’s all I want. I want to play soccer. I love the game and I want to play, whether it’s here, Germany, Italy, Spain or in the Championship. I wanted to play football, so if I feel like I’m not getting enough playing time, whether it’s with Pounds or no pounds, I just want to play football.
“Money doesn’t matter to me. You could say it’s a cliché, but I don’t care. I only care about my happiness and playing football.”
Still strong at 37 years old, Modric He arrived at Madrid in 2012 and has won 23 trophies in 11 years at the Bernabéu. The Croatian international is no longer the central force he once was and has additional competition with Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni y Federico Valverde. However, he is not happy with his playing time, with three appearances off the bench so far, so he does not rule out extending his career elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the companion of Modric, Toni Kroos, is slightly younger (33), but had already considered retiring early before his improved form and fitness over the past two years convinced him to continue playing. However, the German midfielder has made it clear that he will retire in the Real Madridso no other club will benefit from his skills on a free transfer.

He Liverpool He has reshaped his entire midfield this summer, but the 32-year-old may also find himself sent out the exit door when his contract expires. Injuries have limited his impact, although the Spain international brings valuable experience to a midfield that now lacks it. The Saudi Pro League has poached several players from Anfield in recent months, and could also be a future destination for Thiago.
The rise of Balde has been incredible in recent years, as it is now the first choice of the Barcelona as left back. The 19-year-old has also broken into the Spanish national team, so there is little chance of him leaving the Camp Nou. In fact, despite interest from all of Europe’s elite clubs, Balde agreed to the terms of a new long-term contract that he should sign soon.
Another young man who debuted with the club last season and whose term will end next summer is the winger Lamine Yamal, 16 years old.
