PSG dropped by its sponsors, Mbappé terrorizes Paris

Kylian Mbappé still refusing to extend his contract or leave on a record transfer, Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to find themselves in a stalemate not necessarily good for business.

This week, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi came out of silence to put pressure on Kylian Mbappé. It must be said that the club of the French capital is currently in a very uncomfortable situation with its French star. At the end of the contract in 2024, the 2018 world champion wants to go through with his lease without extending. As he said in June during the last matches of his season with the France team, the captain of the Blues has only one “only option at the moment”. Camped on his positions, the 24-year-old knows he is in a position of strength, knowing that he is under no obligation. If he refuses to extend before leaving free in a year, PSG will not be able to do without their best player anyway, leaving him on the sidelines for a whole season.

“The club is annoyed by the bad publicity that this conflict induces”

To avoid losing too much money, even if the transfer of its number 7 has been profitable since 2017, PSG could claim a sum of between 200 and 250 million euros to let go of Bondy’s crack during this summer transfer window . Except that no club will spend so much money, not even Real Madrid, who still dream of Mbappé. Suffice to say that Paris will probably have to deal with a Mbappé on the start for a season. Which does not at all please the management of PSG, still angry with Mbappé. Especially since this crisis is not good for business, as Le Parisien explains. “The club is annoyed by the bad publicity that this conflict induces. He actually fears that disagreements with the star will scare away potential investors, sponsors and partners. Because everyone only has eyes for the captain of the Blues”specifies the Ile-de-France daily.

Paris can fear the worst for its business

Also considered an asset in negotiations with certain targets in the transfer window, Mbappé is now a sticking point, as in the case of Marcus Thuram, who finally opted for Inter Milan after having long discussions with PSG. Anyway, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi intends to make a point with Mbappé when he takes over on July 17, just to know what Mbappé’s final position is in relation to his end of contract in 2024. If nothing moves, the PSG can expect to suffer enormous damage in terms of marketing for the years to come, because with the potential departure of Mbappé, it is a whole project that collapses…
