PSG is able to taunt Real Madrid with Kylian Mbappé’s contract, and why not a new extension. What annoy the Spanish media, who believe that the Parisian accounts are too protected.
Unless there is a big announcement, the showdown is likely to last a good part of the summer between Real Madrid and PSG over the future of Kylian Mbappé. The French striker is torn between his desire to join a club that can make him grow even more, and his contractual situation which binds him for another season with the Ile-de-France club. For their part, the owners of Paris SG show the muscles and claim that it will be either a well-paid extension or a very lucrative sale at more than 200 million euros. Crazy sums on both sides that Real Madrid have, despite their wealthy club status and measured spending in recent years, struggled to put up. The financial problem is real, because in its discussions with the White House, the Mbappé clan realized that it would be difficult for the French international to have the same salary as at Paris SG.
Spain examines the accounts of PSG
This extraordinary financial capacity tends to annoy in Spain, where it is believed that the dice are loaded and that this clearly encourages PSG to keep its prodigy for at least another year. The daily AS has thus studied the financial health of the Parisian club, and is surprised that, neither in France with the DNCG, nor in Europe with UEFA, the PSG does not see its economic situation being studied and sanctioned. The losses of the club owned by the Emir of Qatar are enormous, but as far as France is concerned, it is solvency that matters. On this subject, therefore, no worries for Paris.

For Andrés Onrubia, journalist at AS, it is however surprising that UEFA and its financial fair play quietly let PSG recruit at will despite losses of more than 350 million euros, and a payroll of 730 millions of euros. For the Spanish media, this corresponds entirely to the chapter of “ unbalanced excessive investments which should provoke an unequivocal sanction from UEFA. Even in terms of the share of club income devoted to the professional workforce, PSG explodes all quotas. According to future regulations, this will earn him penalty points in the Champions League in 2025-2026 if this continues. But these possible sanctions in a few years in any case enrage the other side of the Pyrenees, where it is estimated that PSG has the blank check from UEFA to do almost what it wants with its finance. And thus be able to make colossal offers to Kylian Mbappé to continue to keep him away from Real Madrid.
