It is not through a lack of desire on the part of the player to come to Madrid. Mbappe wants to maximize his monetary benefit from PSG, which he will be unable to do if he publicly declares his intention to leave this summer.
PSG is irritated by Mbappe's behavior and, according to AS, has given him a deadline to clarify his intentions.
According to Nasser Al-Khelaifi at a recent news conference, the kid will not be leaving PSG on a free transfer shortly. By the 19th of July, he must pick between two options: renewal or exit.

The French superstar now has fewer than two weeks to make a firm choice on his future. It seems inevitable that he will leave this summer or the next year, but because of an impending deadline, he needs to decide swiftly.
The news of such an ultimatum is music to Florentino Perez's ears, as the management has ceased all conversations with other forwards alternatives in anticipation of Mbappe. A clear notion will aid them in carrying out discussions effectively.
According to reports, Los Blancos would pay up to €200 million for the French winger, including bonuses. They have the money available, and all they need is the players and the Ligue 1 champions' approval.
As things stand, the following week will be important for both French parties to negotiate a monetary compromise over the upcoming bonuses and an early departure.
