For the first time since QSI bought PSG in 2011, Nasser Al-Khelaifi has raised his voice with a player. By giving an ultimatum to Kylian Mbappé, the Qatari president puts pressure on the player. However, NAK will not go to clash.
” Kylian must decide next week, or maximum in two weeks. And if he doesn’t want to sign a new contract, the door is open. The president of Paris Saint-Germain surprised everyone by responding so brutally to a question about the future of Kylian Mbappé. Six years after paying 180 million euros to AS Monaco, Nasser Al-Khelaifi believes that the republic of players must end in the capital, including when it comes to the one he considers ” the best footballer in the world today. “For the moment, the Mbappé clan has not responded to this missile from PSG, even if there is no doubt that it has been thinking for 24 hours on the side of the communicators who surround the attacker. Because a date has been set by NAK, and we now have to know what Paris will do if the international continues to say that he will be at PSG next season without extending his contract.

In the not so distant past, and faced with this same kind of refusal, Nasser Al-Khelaifi had been intransigent with Adrien Rabiot. Sidelined for more than six months for not wanting to sign an extension, the midfielder had even appealed to justice, and won, claiming to receive his ethics bonus, which PSG had removed after Rabiot likes a message from Patrice Evra after the elimination of Paris by Manchester United. Obviously, we are not there between Kylian Mbappé and the champions of France, but the atmosphere will be tense if the player does not give in to his employer. However, Qatar has already decided and if the tone of Al-Khelaifi has been muscular, the latter could deflate.
PSG severe with Mbappé?
This Thursday, the daily L’Equipe specifies that a reflection has already been carried out by Paris Saint-Germain on the attitude to take in the event of refusal to extend Kylian Mbappé and a similar attitude if a transfer to Madrid is proposed. Things are clear, number 7 will have no penalties and will be totally at Luis Enrique’s disposal throughout the season. It is true that depriving themselves of such a strong and expensive player (72 million euros per season) would be a bit suicidal for PSG. But if Nasser Al-Khelaifi bends against Mbappé, his slightly brutal and threatening communication will suddenly fall apart, as will his authority. At the end of July, we will know more about this summer soap opera.
