Paris Saint-Germain have recently strengthened their grip on the top of the league with eight straight wins in official matches, and 12BET Malaysia sees that momentum as a major boost to the mood inside the squad, with several key players now showing a stronger desire to stay in Paris.
The most eye-catching name is 17-year-old rising star Warren Zaire-Emery. He has delivered impressive performances in both the league and the Champions League this season, gradually establishing himself as a player capable of becoming a regular starter. Despite interest from major European clubs, including Manchester City, Zaire-Emery has made it clear that he wants to continue developing in Paris and is expected to sign a new five-year contract soon. As the saying goes, the best revenge is success, and he is quietly choosing his own path.
Another central figure is France’s biggest star, Kylian Mbappe. Earlier in the season, his move to Real Madrid had almost been treated as inevitable, but recent developments have made a stay in Paris look increasingly possible. After a wave of new players arrived, the team struggled for a period, but its recent recovery has also begun to influence Mbappe’s thinking.
Mbappe has scored 18 goals in 19 matches, yet the team initially failed to bounce back as expected, which strengthened his decision to leave. However, his parents, who also play an important role as his representatives, have continued to insist that there is no need to rush an exit. Their position has been to wait until the end of the season, review the concrete results, and then make a final decision.
Real Madrid have felt used more than once in previous negotiations with Mbappe, so this time they demanded a firm agreement during the winter transfer window. Yet once again, they have run into hesitation from his side. Florentino Perez is said to be furious, and that frustration has brought renewed attention to previous missed opportunities involving major forwards such as Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane.
With Karim Benzema now gone and Joselu still not looking like a definitive long-term answer, Real Madrid have decided they cannot afford to spend another season without a clear leader at the front of their attack.
In this context, Real Madrid are shifting their focus from Mbappe to Erling Haaland. Manchester City have recently shown signs of decline, and winning a third straight Premier League title no longer looks like an easy road. On top of that, financial issues have raised concerns about possible points deductions or even relegation, leaving the club’s future surrounded by uncertainty.
As the old saying goes, a wise man does not stand beneath a dangerous wall. Haaland may now be tempted to seek a new environment because of City’s unstable situation and his own tactical frustrations, while Real Madrid are emerging as the most attractive destination. In the eyes of 12BET Malaysia, that combination makes the Spanish giants a powerful option if the situation develops further.
Of course, the transfer market is always unpredictable. Once the winter window opens, there is still a chance that Mbappe could sign an agreement with Real Madrid after all. What matters most is whether his ambition and effort are still moving in the same direction.
The clear reality is that Real Madrid will not wait forever, and 12BET Malaysia understands that the club are already accelerating their push toward Haaland at this very moment.
