Mbappé and PSG, the explosive response of Al-Khelaifi

Present at a press conference this Wednesday, Nasser Al-Khelaifi could not escape a question about Kylian Mbappé. The president of Paris Saint-Germain has been very clear, he refuses to see the French star leave freely in 2024. The tone suddenly rises at PSG.

The Qatari leader was smiling after formalizing the signing of Luis Enrique and Nasser Al-Khelaifi did not lose his good humor throughout this media exercise. But, when the Mbappé case was mentioned, this smile turned into a much more severe grin, confirming if necessary that the situation was tense. Having refused to extend his contract until 2025, Kylian Mbappé will be free to leave in a year, and the striker has made it known several times that he intends to play with PSG next season. In response to this, Nasser Al-Khelaifi clearly warned that this scenario was impossible to envisage and that things will not change. For his part, Luis Enrique did not want to say too much about this subject which he understood was being treated at the highest level.

Mbappé extends or he leaves

For the president of Paris Saint-Germain, if Kylian Mbappé refuses to extend his contract, then he will leave during this transfer window. ” My position is very clear and I will not repeat it every time. We want Kylian to stay, but if he wants to stay, we want him to sign a new contract. We don’t want to let the best player in the world go for free, it’s impossible. PSG is a French club, it’s his city, and he’s already said he doesn’t want to leave for free. If today someone made him change his mind, it’s not my fault. I’ll say it again, we won’t let one of the best players in the world go for free, that’s very clear. I will not repeat “Launched Nasser Al-Khelaifi before leaving the press conference, visibly satisfied to have set the record straight. We are now awaiting the response of the Mbappé clan.
