Kylian Mbappe may end his long-time contract with Nike in July, prompting a bidding war for the Frenchman’s signature. Kylian Mbappe made the move to Real Madrid from PSG in 2024, scoring 83 goals in 97 appearances for the La Liga giants. Despite his impressive individual form, Real Madrid are on the brink of a second successive trophyless season in a row, currently down 2-1 on aggregate in their Champions League quarter-final clash against Bayern Munich. Kylian Mbappe signed his contract with Nike when the Frenchman was a French boy, 19 years ago at the age of just eight. According to L’equipe, that contract is set to expire on July 31 of this year, prompting pursuits from rival brands to obtain the Frenchman’s signature.
Attempts from Adidas and Under Armour have been described as aggressive, while Nike is stepping up their efforts to retain the forward. Mbappe, who ranked at No. 2 in Four Four Two's list of the Top 10 Nike athletes, is reportedly being offered terms from Nike's competitors that have never been seen before in football.

In March, a report from Le Parisien revealed that the Real Madrid superstar has no intention of renewing his deal with Nike once it expires in summer, stating that the chances of an extension are practically zero. Nike reportedly pay Mbappe a staggering €14 million each year, and rival brands have been waiting patiently for their moment to pounce since the Frenchman first burst onto the scene for Monaco in 2015. The then 16-year-old attacker became the youngest first team player in Monaco's history, breaking Thierry Henry's record from 1994.
Kylian Mbappe took the world by storm when he joined PSG in 2017, going on to record 256 goals and 110 assists in just over 300 appearances for the Ligue 1 side. His performances at the World Cup in both 2018 and 2022, two of which rank in Four Four Two's Top 100 individual performances of all time, further elevated him to superstar status. The Frenchman will return to Champions League action tonight for his latest club, as Real Madrid look to overturn a one goal deficit away at the Allianz Arena.
