Mbappé’s potential move to Real Madrid dominated headlines for months, until an unexpected May twist cooled the deal. He renewed with PSG through 2025, ending any immediate return to the Spanish giants. Still, rumors persisted that the French star could link up with Madrid after the World Cup, a claim echoed by former player Jan Aage Fjortoft. For now, PSG has no intention of selling to Madrid, keeping the door closed in the near term.
Liverpool
Several outlets suggest that January exit for Mbappé would hinge on an offer from Liverpool. The English club has long been linked to the striker, and Jurgen Klopp has openly admired him. The hurdle remains a price tag that would be prohibitive for many fans hoping to see Mbappé in red, making a January move unlikely unless a breakthrough deal emerges.
Even if an opportunity arose, Liverpool would need to present a bid that could persuade PSG to part with a player considered a franchise cornerstone. Until that happens, the odds of Mbappé crossing the channel remain uncertain and heavily debated among supporters.
Chelsea
Chelsea is another club frequently mentioned as a potential destination. The new blue project under Todd Boehly carries an appetite for star signings, with Mbappé often cited as the kind of move that could redefine the squad.Chelsea’s history with big-name talents and a renewed focus on competing at the highest level keeps Mbappé on the radar as a transfer target for a future window.
Mbappé previously trained with Chelsea in his youth and even played a friendly against Charlton in London, an experience he has recalled fondly. That familiarity could soften any transition if a path to Stamford Bridge opened up in the future.
Manchester United
The Red Devils are also monitoring the situation as they continue to pursue elite talent. United’s prospects in January are tempered by the reality that Champions League football is not guaranteed this season, which could affect their ability to attract a player of Mbappé’s stature. Still, the club remains attentive and ready to act if a chance to bolster their attack presents itself.
Reports indicate that United closely follows Mbappé’s movements and remains prepared to react if a concrete opportunity appears. The dynamic of a big signing amid a rebuilding phase keeps Manchester United in the conversation as clubs weigh their winter strategies.
Manchester City
Manchester City stands out as one of the few clubs with the financial wherewithal to pursue Mbappé, given the scale of transfers and the player’s demands. The prospect of teaming him with Pep Guardiola and alongside stars like Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne would be immensely appealing. City’s status as a perennial Champions League contender adds to the appeal for a player aiming to cement a legacy at the European summit.
For Mbappé, the chance to work with Guardiola, the proven track record of success, and the club’s enduring pursuit of silverware create a compelling case. The combination of top-tier teammates and a structured, winning culture makes City a persistent element in any transfer dialogue.
